Alcohol Screening

CRAFT SCREENING TOOL
(Developed by John Knight for screening with teens)

Have you ever ridden in a car driven by someone (including yourself) who was “high” or had been using alcohol or drugs?

Do you ever use alcohol or drugs to relax, feel better about yourself or fit in?

Do you ever use alcohol or drugs while you are by yourself or alone?

Do you ever forget things you did while using alcohol or drugs?

Do your family or friends ever tell you that you should cut down on your drinking or drug use?

Have you ever gotten into trouble while you were using alcohol or drugs?

If you have answered yes to two or more questions, we recommend that you speak with someone to see if alcohol or drugs are a problem for you and to get help. You can contact your primary care clinician or a mental health clinician at HUHS or a clinician at the Bureau of Study Counsel.
