Assessment and screening are among the first steps in treating adolescents in at-risk situations, including runaway and homeless youth. When a young person comes to you for help, you need to know: Does the young person suffer from mental health problems? Does he or she abuse drugs or alcohol? How well does the youth make everyday decisions? In order to answer these questions and to continually evaluate program effectiveness, many social services agencies use already existing screening and assessment tools or design their own.

Adolescence is a time for young people to define their place in the family, peer groups, and the larger community. During this stage of their lives, youth struggle with the transition from childhood to adulthood. During childhood, they depended mainly on their parents for economic and emotional support and direction. In adulthood, though, they will be expected to achieve independence and make choices about school, work and personal relationships that will affect every aspect of their future.
