Abstract
Three models of interprofessional education appropriate for serving youth at risk for substance abuse are described. One of the models, the team case study, was evaluated by school personnel trained in its use. Results indicated that participants were more sensitive to the multiple needs of youth at risk, experienced increased comfort in seeking consultation from other agents working with such youth, and were more confident of their abilities to select and implement appropriate interventions for youth at risk for substance abuse following their training.
