Screening
and Assessing Adolescents
for Substance Use Disorders
Course developed
by Pamela Petersen-Baston, CAP, CAPP.
The course provides strategies designed to help teachers, juvenile justice,
health and human services, and substance use disorder treatment personnel
better identify, screen, and assess people 11 to 21 years old who may be
experiencing substance-related problems. It details warning signs of substance
use disorders among adolescents, when to screen, when to assess, what domains
besides substance use to assess, and how to involve the family. Also covered
are the legal issues of screening and assessing teenagers, including confidentiality,
duty to warn, and how to communicate with other agencies. Included is a
chapter specifically for those working in the juvenile justice system that
want to improve their screening and assessment procedures.
A large number
of screening and assessment instruments are summarized in the appendix,
allowing the professional to review and select the tools most appropriate
for their needs. Summaries include: purpose, content, administration,
time required for completion, training needed by assessor, how the instrument
can be obtained, and approximate cost. Most measures included were developed
specifically for young people, and all have established reliability and
validity.
