RAAPS
The Rapid Adolescent Prevention Screening© (RAAPS) are standardized validated risk screening tools developed to support professionals in addressing the risk factors impacting health, well-being, and academic success in youth.

Federally Qualified Health Center“RAAPS gives providers the ability to discuss sensitive subjects… For many youth, RAAPS gives them the ability to ask for help when they are too afraid to ask out loud.”

School-Based Health Center“We use the RAAPS on youth 12-17 years old for each and every visit (whether for a physical, a problem visit or sick visit). Many youth have given positive feedback regarding RAAPS compared to the prior assessment that was used.”
