The SAMH-1 was developed to screen all juveniles entering the juvenile justice system due to the filing of a delinquency petition. The instrument identifies a series of risk factors which may indicate the presence of a substance abuse or mental health problem. A positive response on any one of the factors included in the form warrants further assessment. Juveniles referred for additional evaluation complete the SAMH-2, the results of which help a juvenile Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime (TASC) worker determine that no substance or mental health problem exists, determine that a problem exists and recommend appropriate treatment, or refer the juvenile for further evaluation to determine a course of action. This booklet includes a sample SAMH-1 and SAMH-2 interview and outlines pertinent clinical and systems considerations. 1 appendix
