A popular set of scales originally from the PMES/Inhalants Project used to assess intake and psychosocial functioning of adolescents as well as follow-up outcomes. The instrument for psychosocial functioning includes three scales on family relations (warmth, control, and conflict), four scales on friends (peer activity, trouble, familiarity with parents, and conventional involvement), and three scales on self (self-esteem, environment, and school satisfaction).

A comprehensive battery of segmented TCU assessment forms for client needs, risks, and progress now offers optimum flexibility in addressing program objectives. These targeted assessments have been configured as a series of 1-page Short Forms which includes specialized scales for adolescents and can be used in a customized approach to client assessment. A summary report on these forms is provided.
