CRAFFT Screening Test is a short, self-administered tool to screen adolescents for alcohol and other drug-use disorders simultaneously [22,23]. The six items endorsed are given a score
of “1.” A cut score of 2 is used to identify adolescents with
a substance use/abuse disorder in a medical clinic setting.
Each MH problem was measured using either teen or caregiver
reports on the standardized measures above, similar to
methods used by Kessler et al., because this can help “optimize
concurrence with diagnoses” [1]. Analyses were constrained by
the time frame assessed for each of the measures as described
below.
