众所周知，年轻人中同时发生的心理健康和药物使用障碍的患病率很高。尽管如此，在澳大利亚的酒精和其他药物（AOD）服务中，共患疾病的检出率很低。本文介绍了发展，实施和评估的心理健康筛查工具和培训计划内的青年A OD部门。30名青少年急症室及开放式学校工作人员接受了精神健康检查的培训，随后在84名接受两项青少年急症室及开放式学校服务的青少年中试用了检查工具。培训评估使用的措施，学员的心理健康知识，态度，技能和信心的心理健康筛查在基线和12个月的随访。年轻人的反馈支持筛查工具的可行性、可接受性和相关性。有关培训计划的评估显示，急症室及开放式诊所工作人员的精神健康知识、技能及对精神健康检查的信心均有改善。这些研究结果提供了初步证据，证明青少年精神健康筛查工具的可行性和可接受性，以及青少年成人发展部门培训方案的有效性。
The high prevalence of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders in young people is well established. Despite this, there are low rates of detection of co-occurring disorders across alcohol and other drug (AOD) services within Australia. This paper describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a mental health screening tool and training programme within the youth A OD sector. Thirty youth A OD workers received training in mental health screening, and the screening tool was subsequently piloted on 84 young people accessing two youth A OD services. Training was evaluated using measures of the trainee's mental health knowledge, attitudes, skills and confidence in mental health screening at baseline and 12-month follow up. Feedback from young people supported the feasibility, acceptability and relevance of the screening tool. Evaluation of the associated training programme indicated improvements in A OD workers' mental health knowledge, skills and confidence in mental health screening. These findings provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of the mental health screening tool to young people and the effectiveness of the training package within the youth AOD sector.
