Clinical Disclaimer

The CRAFFT is a screening tool for educational and self-reflection purposes. It is not a clinical assessment and cannot determine whether you have a substance use problem. A positive screen (score of 2+) suggests that further conversation with a trusted adult or healthcare provider may be helpful. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for substance use concerns. Reviewed by a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC-II).
