(GAINS Center, 2004;

Co-Occurring Substance Use
Disorders
74% of state prisoners with mental
problems also have substance abuse or
dependence problems
(U.S. Department of Justice, 2006)
5
Importance of Screening and Assessment
 High
prevalence rates of mental and
substance use disorders in justice settings
 Persons
with undetected disorders are likely
to cycle back through the justice system
 Allows
for treatment planning and linking
to appropriate treatment services
6
Screening for MH and SA Disorders
• Routine screening for both sets of disorders
• Other important domains: trauma, motivation,
criminal risk
• Acute MH and SA symptoms:
• Suicidal thoughts and behavior
• Depression, hallucinations, delusions
• Potential for drug/alcohol withdrawal
• History of treatment, including use of meds
• Determine need/urgency for referral
Survey Results: SA Screening for
Offenders
 Wide
variation in types of SA
screening instruments administered
 32% of sites used no SA screening
instruments
 42% of sites did not use a standardized
SA screening instrument
(Taxman et al., 2007)

Challenges in Selecting
Screening Instruments
•
•
•
•
•
Proliferation of screening instruments
Use of non-standardized instruments
Instruments not validated in CJ settings
Absence of comparative data
Direct to consumer marketing of
instruments with poor psychometric
properties (e.g., SASSI)

Other Screening Domains
• Trauma and PTSD
• Motivation
• Criminal Risk
14
Trauma and Victimization
• Female offenders frequently have been
victims of physical or sexual violence
• Trauma history – should be expectation for
women (and men) in justice settings
• Impact of violence is widespread, can
impair recovery from MH and SA disorders
Trauma and PTSD Screening Issues
• PTSD and trauma are often overlooked
in screening
• Other diagnoses are used to explain
symptoms
• Result – lack of specialized treatment,
symptoms masked, poor outcomes
Screening for Trauma and PTSD
• All offenders should be screened for
trauma history
• Screening does not require mental health
clinician nor discussion of specific details
• Many public domain instruments
available
• Positive screens - referred for assessment
17
Screening Instruments for Trauma
and PTSD
• Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for
DSM-IV (CAPS)
• Impact of Events Scale (IES)
• Primary Care PTSD Screen (PC-PTSD)
• PTSD Checklist – Civilian Version
(PCL-C)
• Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI)

Stages of Change

Summary of Key Points
• High rates of co-occurring MH/SA disorders
• Blended screening and assessment approach needed
• Key domains: MH, SA, trauma, criminal risk
• Proliferation of instruments, but all
instruments not created equal
• Many evidence-based instruments available
- Most in public domain
- Easy to access and to administer
