| Field | Instrument context |
|---|---|
| Version | CRAFFT 2.1; adolescent/young-adult screen; 2.1+N is separate |
| Respondent | Self-report or interviewer |
| Purpose | CRAFFT adolescent substance-use screening — administration and scoring reference. |
Administration
Use the age-appropriate CRAFFT 2.1 form in a confidential clinical setting and follow its opening-use and continuation sequence.
Scoring method
Version-specific screening and branching; select current validated edition and age range.
Interpretation & limitations
- Review substance-use concerns and riding/driving exposure separately. The added nicotine section in 2.1+N has its own role.
- Interpret the findings alongside the clinical interview, functioning, history and relevant physical assessment.
- Do not treat omitted questions after branching as a completed all-no interview, or extrapolate youth screening findings to adult populations.
- Use the original instrument and manual for item wording, rating anchors, missing-data rules and any normative conversions. This reference does not establish a diagnosis or select treatment.
