Article Synopsis
- Psychiatric and substance use disorders are common in adolescents, highlighting the need for effective screening tools.
- The Global Appraisal of Individual Needs-Short Screener (GAIN-SS) was tested for its reliability and validity in a study of 95 adolescents, most of whom were in treatment.
- Results showed that the GAIN-SS performed well for detecting substance use disorders, with high sensitivity and specificity, while psychiatric disorder subscales were less effective, raising considerations for its broader application.
