The ASL version of the GAIN Short Screener (GAIN-SS) is a 20-minute, self-administered, web-based screening tool designed to quickly and accurately assess deaf-signing adults and adolescents for possible mental health problems. The instrument is a collection of four screeners (five to seven items each): the Internalizing Disorder Screener (IDScr), Externalizing Disorder Screener (EDScr), Substance Disorder Screener (SDScr), and Crime and Violence Screener (CVScr). The four screeners combined form the 23-item Total Disorder Screener (TDScr). A result of moderate to high problem severity in any single screening area or overall suggests the need for further assessment or referral to some part of the behavioral health treatment system. The GAIN-SS was translated into ASL by Titus and Guthmann (2013) and resides on the ASL-STAR Portal with permission from Chestnut Health Systems.
