Abstract

Aim: Quantifying incremental validity of routine assessments (CBCL and YSR) and a substance use (SU) screener (CRAFFT) to predict SU in a child welfare sample (N=1,054; AgeM=13.72). Method: ROC, reclassification analyses. Results: Baseline CRAFFT, delinquent behavior and rule-breaking behavior (males); baseline CRAFFT and delinquent behavior (females); provided incrementally valid prediction.
