CRAFFT + N Questionnaire
The CRAFFT + N (updated version of a) behavioral health screening tool for use with children ages 12-18 and is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Substance Abuse with adolescents. It consists of a series of questions developed to screen adolescents for high risk alcohol and other drug use disorders simultaneously. It is a short, effective screening tool meant to assess whether a longer conversation about the context of use, frequency, and other risks and consequences of alcohol and other drug use is warranted.
