Introduction Health Literacy promotes the understanding of
basic health information and services. Online health information
has been searched by 80% of the internet users, according to a 2006
survey (Fox, 2006). is an onlinemental health
platform, set up in 2015 by a multidisciplinary team, composed by
family physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists. It establishes a
two-way information flow, because the analysis of the users profile
and the pattern of use of the website allows future adaptations on
the communication strategy.
Objectives and aims Understand the importance of Online Health
Literacy in psychiatric diseases. Present
and characterize its activity during the first six months of
operation.
Methods Review of selected literature. Descriptive statistical
analysis of the site’s activity during the first sixmonths of operation.
Results There is a known association between level of educa-
tion and health, and recent studies suggest that health literacy is
one of the factors that mediates this relationship (Heide, 2013).
is a simple tool, with great potential to reach
awide audience, providing information and support to patients and
caregivers. Preliminary results suggest an average of 30 users/day
(80% new users), mainly from Portugal (79%), followed by Brazil
(5%). Themost visited content was related tomental health; anxiety
was the most consulted pathology.
Conclusions Psychoeducation is an essential tool in clinical
practice. Mental Health services should seek alternative means of
information diffusion. Despite being at an early stage of implemen-
tation, has proved to be an effective strategy.

Introduction More than 30% of US adults are estimated to drink
at risky levels or meet criteria for harmful or dependent alcohol
use. Screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT)
in primary care settings is recommended and nurses, particu-
larly advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioners), are being
called upon to perform SBIRT for alcohol. This study assessed if
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about SBIRT, evaluated after
a three-part, educational training, predicted whether 21 family
nurse practitioner (FNP) students screened for alcohol use during
subsequent patient encounters in their clinical practica.
Objectives Learners will be able to:
– describe the general purpose and procedures of SBIRT;
– identify three strategies for integrating SBIRT into current
practice setting.
Aims To help in development of SBIRT skills, the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration expanded training
grant opportunities in 2013, for education programs to multi-
ple groups of medical professionals. Findings from this study are
presented to show the effectiveness of the training for nursing
professionals.
Method Immediately following training, students completed a
survey and then documented implementation of SBIRT during their
clinical practica.
Results Students who reported higher levels of perceived “Com-
petence” in their post-training surveys were more likely to screen
patients for alcohol use in their clinical practica settings.
Conclusion Screening for alcohol use and identifying patients
at risk for or engaged in hazardous drinking meet impor-
tant NP practice competencies. Further research is needed to
explore training programs that specifically emphasize activi-
ties to increase competence, knowledge, and comfort regarding
SBIRT.

Introduction Despite efforts to unify psychiatric education
among European member countries, there are still considerable
variations betweennational training programmes. To ensure equiv-
alence of training standards the current tendency of recommended
guidelines and reports is steering psychiatric training towards
becoming more competency focused.
Objectives The research group of the European Federation of
Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT) conducted a multi-national study on
postgraduate psychiatry training. The aims are to assess the
psychiatric trainees’ experiences and opinions on their national
training and assessment methods in respect to the Union
européenne des médecins spécialistes (UEMS) 2009 competencies
framework.
Methods This study surveyed 745 psychiatric trainees from 10
EFPT member countries using a questionnaire designed specifically
for assessing this issue.
