In the past few weeks, we’ve learned  about environmental and biological risk and protective factors, some of the primary reasons for drug use and factors that contribute to, and prevent high-risk behaviors. For this assignment, you will use two screening tools to (1) observe and assess (2) analyze and evaluate, and (3) recommend healthy lifestyle for decreasing the risks of addictive behavior.
Step 1:  Observe and Assess
Use the TAPS-1: Four-Item Screening ToolLinks to an external site. from the National Institutes of Health to screen and to assess substance use, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)Links to an external site. which screens for depression.  Administer these surveys to yourself or to anybody else. Then summarize the results in ½ page. These results should remain anonymous – use a word such as participant, patient, or client in referring to the person being assessed. 
After you complete the assessments, you’ll see that results and suggested actions are provided. In Step 1 of the assignment  you are summarizing the results of BOTH assessments. You’ll notice different risk levels for different substances such as cannabis, alcohol, sedatives, stimulants, tobacco, other drugs. Summarize here – include important information we need to know for the rest of the assessment 
Step 2:  Analyze
