Part 2: Screening, Enrolling, and Assessing Clients
spacer
spacer
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.
