Sheet 1.7.1Number of youth assessed and referred by a joint, coordinated substance abuse access mechanism
DÉFINITION Number of users under the age of 18 years assessed and referred by a joint, coordinated accessmechanism to specialized substance abuse services grouping the various service providers duringthe financial period.
USE/INTERPRETATION
A user is a person whose record is active and who has access to substance abuse assessment andtreatment services. The users considered hereunder are those compiled in the financialmanagement manual, Volume 1, section 8430.
Warning An assessed user is a youth who, whether or not by means of an access mechanism, has used anassessment service which uses the recognized substance abuse seriousness index tool (Indice de
gravité de la toxicomanie – ado - IGTado).
A referred user is a youth who, following an assessment, whether or not within the scope of theaccess mechanism, has been referred to a resource offering specialized substance abuse services.
A joint, coordinated access mechanism allows youth clientele to be matched to the programsavailable by means of detection and assessment tools.
The number of youth assessed and referred must differentiate between the youth who used the
access mechanism and those who did not use the mechanism to obtain services during the targetperiod.
Within the scope of the Plan d’action en toxicomanie 1999-2001 (substance abuse action plan for
1999-2001) and the work in process to prepare a national plan of action to control substanceabuse, youth continue to be a privileged target for actions designed to detect, provide earlyintervention and referrals to treatment programs.
However, there are certain prerequisites necessary for assessing and referring the target clientele,
such as training the practitioners who detect and refer, implementing an access mechanism forspecialized services, promoting this mechanism among the referents and service users andagreements between the partners involved.
The access mechanism offers a value added which promotes the best match for the client, wherethe referents and service distributors work together and coordinate their activities to offer the mostappropriate services to the user.
According to the Enquête québécoise sur le tabagisme chez les élèves du secondaire (2002)(Quebec survey on tobacco use among secondary school students – 2002), produced by theInstitut de la Statistique du Québec, 5% of the youth in secondary school could be qualified as
problem consumers requiring the assistance of a specialized substance abuse practitioner. InQuebec, in 2005, we counted 572,813 youth aged between 12 and 17 years, excluding regions 10,17 and 18. Based on this data, for an area such as the national capital, we can predict that 2250
youth aged between 12 and 17 years will have a problem with use. To illustrate, in 2004-2005, theProgramme accès jeunesse en toxicomanie – PAJT (substance abuse access program) in thenational capital area should allow 295 youth to be assessed.
In addition, the study, La consummation de psychotropes chez les jeunes nouvellement inscrits à laprise en charge des centres jeunesse du Québec : Profils de gravité et caractéristiques associés(psychotropic drug use among youth newly registered as being taken charge of by the centres
jeuenesse du Québec: seriousness profiles and associated characteristics) indicate that 10.5% ofyouth between the ages of 12 and 17 years have use problems. We can estimate thatapproximately 4000 youth from 12 to 17 years are enrolled or admitted to the centre jeunesse for
behavioural disorders or delinquency, which leads to presume that, according to this study, 10.5%or 420 of these youth have use problems.
CALCULATION METHOD _ of users assessed within the scope of a joint, coordinated access mechanism.
_ of users referred to a substance abuse organization by a joint, coordinated access mechanism.
