Which screening tool is not related to mental health assessment in juvenile justice?

The ACT, or the Assessment of Co-occurring Disorders and Treatment Needs, is primarily used in contexts that do not focus specifically on mental health assessments within the juvenile justice system. While it provides valuable insights regarding a youth's treatment needs related to substance use and other disorders, it does not focus exclusively on the mental health aspects that the other tools address.

In contrast, tools like MAYSI (Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument) and SRSI (Substance Risk Screening Initiative) are specifically designed to evaluate mental health issues and risks among juveniles. A similar purpose is served by the PACT (Positive Achievement Change Tool), which assesses risk factors related to delinquency and mental health. These instruments aim to identify and address mental health needs directly within the context of juvenile justice, making them more suitable for that specific purpose.
