Date:
Abstract:

This study analyzes the validity of the TCU Drug Screen 5 (TCU DS 5) as a screener for substance use disorders by comparing scores to subscales of the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) assessment. Results revealed that the TCU DS 5 is a valid screener for SUD and provide justification for implementing this screener within juvenile systems.
