1. Institutional Non-Impersonation & Domain Provenance

To prevent confusion among clinicians, medical educators, and researchers arriving via older academic citations, this centralized disclosure documents the complete history and current governance of wiphl.com:

2006 to 2023 Original Program: wiphl.com originally operated as the web portal for the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles (WIPHL), a SAMHSA-supported primary care SBIRT dissemination and health-educator initiative affiliated with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
Independent Reconstruction (2026): Following the expiration of the legacy domain, this site was independently rebuilt as an open-access clinical pocket manual and residency training reference dedicated to SBIRT screening, warm-handoff integration, trauma-informed care, and outpatient coding.
No Official Affiliation: This website is an independent educational resource. It does not represent, speak for, or claim endorsement, funding, or institutional affiliation with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW School of Medicine and Public Health, SAMHSA, ACGME, or the original WIPHL grant administration.
