The app provides evidence-based questions to screen for alcohol, drugs and tobacco use. If warranted a screening tool is provided to further evaluate the specific substance use. The app also provides steps to complete a brief intervention and/or referral to treatment for the patient based on motivational interviewing. Integrated within the app are three screening instruments for substance use: the CRAFFT, for use with adolescents, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST)
