The CRAFFT is used to screen adolescents for alcohol and drug use problems. The questions ask about use of alcohol and other drugs during the past 12 months. Carefully read each question and decide if your answer is "YES" or "NO." Then fill in the appropriate circle beside the question.
Your responses will remain confidential.
Part A
During the PAST 12 MONTHS, on how many days did you:
-
1. Drink more than a few sips of beer, wine, or any drink containing alcohol?
-
2. Use any marijuana (weed, oil, or hash, by smoking, vaping, or in food) or synthetic marijuana (like "K2", "Spice") or "vaping" THC oil?
-
3. Use anything else to get high (like other illegal drugs, prescription or over-the-counter medications, and other things that you sniff, huff, or vape)?
Part B
-
1. Have you ever ridden in a car driven by someone (including yourself) who was "high" or had been using alcohol or drugs?
CRAFFT Scorecard
Your screening results indicate that you may be experiencing problems related to alcohol, marijuana or other drug use, or that you may experience problems in the future. Please speak to your parents, primary care doctor, school nurse, school counselor or another trusted adult about this as the next step to protect your health.
The safest and best choice for teenagers is to avoid all alcohol until at least age 21. Other drug use carries risk to health and other areas of a person’s life throughout adolescence and adulthood.
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in teenagers. All teens are strongly encouraged to avoid driving a car under the influence of alcohol or drugs and to avoid riding in a car driven by someone who has been drinking or using marijuana or other drugs. Please consider using the CONTRACT for LIFE to make a safety plan with a trusted adult.
