description Introduction: The current study investigated providers’ perceived barriers, supports, and need for adopting a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment model (SBIRT) intervention related to cannabis reduction into their community based primary care clinics. Methods: Eleven pediatric primary care providers from regional community-based clinics participated in focus groups discussing a proposed adolescent cannabis use SBIRT reduction intervention, perceived need, and potential barriers to implementation within their clinic. Results: Seven primary themes emerged regarding barriers to implementing a cannabis reduction SBIRT in primary care including provider ambivalence to adolescent cannabis use. Conclusion: Further research is needed to understand evolving provider perceptions of adolescent cannabis use and how these views impact the adoption of SBIRT for the reduction of cannabis use among their adolescent patients.
