School nurses are favorably positioned to play an essential role in both primary and secondary prevention and can be among the first to identify students at risk for substance use. However, for school nurses to succeed in this role, a determination must be made regarding their current level of knowledge of the identification of students who are using substances. Based on a review of the literature, there is a nationwide epidemic related to substance use in the United States which does not discriminate regarding the vulnerable adolescent population. Studies have shown the use of trained behavioral health counselors in schools that support the use of school-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) programs; however, there has been no determination of the feasibility of utilizing school nurses as gatekeepers to screening students in rural Pennsylvania (PA) school settings. Currently, the literature suggests that there have been no studies to date on the lived experience of school nurses’ perceptions of barriers and facilitators in the identification of students at risk for substance use. A qualitative research design was used to acquire a greater understanding of the barriers and facilitators among school nurses in rural areas. Discoveries from this research may increase attention to the resources needed in rural areas to assist nurses in this public health epidemic and suggest avenues to improve the identification of students who are using, thus decreasing the adolescent substance use rates., Copyrights are retained by the authors.
