- Abstract
Substance use is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S., and data from treatment centers shows that 75 percent of patients initiated their use prior to the age of 17 years. Substance use in the adolescent years affects brain development and leads to poor physical and psychiatric health, decreased academic performance, and forensic outcomes. Screening at both primary care and specialty visits allows for early intervention and treatment. This article reviews the available screening tools for substance use disorders in children and adolescents for use in a variety of clinical settings.
