| Part 2: Screening, Enrolling, and Assessing Clients |
 |
 |
| Potential CRCS clients should be screened
to determine their eligibility. If they are eligible and want to participate in CRCS, clients are then enrolled.
As soon as possible after a client enrolls, your agency should conduct a more thorough assessment of psychosocial needs and risk behaviors. Your agency may have different personnel (for example, outreach workers) to conduct screenings, though this is not a CRCS requirement. Some agencies have found it useful to have CRCS prevention counselors also involved in client screening, enrollment, and assessment.
We recommend that you conduct screenings and assessments in a conversational manner, rather than in a survey-type manner. Many potential CRCS clients are put off by long questionnaires, or they quickly get tired of them, and you may not see them again. Go to section 2 part 2A
