A Survey of Assessment/Referral Services for Alcohol and Drug Abusers in Ontario

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1986

Abstract

This report gives basic descriptive information on 20 assessment/referral services in Ontario. Details of client characteristics and referral practices are also included. The results suggest a diversity of services with some having an uncertain future. A more conservative use of the term “assessment/referral service” is suggested and criteria for defining an assessment/referral service presented. Suggestions for further research are also made.

Résumé

Ce compte-rendu présente une information descriptive de base à propos de services qui, en Ontario, offrent de l'évaluation et de la référence. On fournit certains détails sur les caractéristiques des clients et sur les pratiques de référence. Les résultats mettent en lumière une diversité de services dont quelques-uns ont un avenir incertain. On suggère une utilisation plus conservatrice des termes “évaluation” et “référence”; on présente aussi des critères pour définir un tel service. On propose aussi des avenues pour de nouvelles recherches.
