Alaska Screening Tool (AST) - Alaska
03/22/2010 | Requests *Summary
How can states better access the needs of their clients as well as their MIG programs? One approach Alaska has taken is instituting the AST test, which is designed to screen for substance abuse, mental illness, and traumatic brain injury. The AST can produce multiple recommendations for more efficient care, state the population needs of each agency, and assist the state in federal reporting requirements. Review a sample screening form which could serve as a template for other states.
