Clinical Assessment. (Including new/updated results)
Clinical Assessment. The patient in whom the novel missense variant p.R138Q was detected was contacted for clinical, genetic, and functional evaluations. All clinical assessments were carried out by a board-certified developmental pediatrician (X. Xxxxxxxxx) and a clinical geneticist/dysmorphologist (M. P. Adam). Genotyping of family members was performed with targeted Sanger sequencing. All genotyped family members gave informed consent to participate in this study. All aspects of the patient recontact and evaluation were approved by the Emory University Institutional Review Board.
Clinical Assessment. The participant will receive a comprehensive psychosocial assessment, including drug and alcohol use history and previous treatment, medical history, legal history, education and vocational history, family background, and mental health problems. At this appointment, the participant will be assessed for structured detoxification or medically supervised detoxification. Should the participant be in need of social or medical detoxification, he or she will be referred for these services through Substance Abuse Center of Kansas Detox/Sobering services which are co-located with COMCARE’s-Community Crisis Center. It is not unusual for participants to detoxify independently either during incarceration or in anticipation of adjudication. If the individual is not in need of structured detoxification, he or she will be placed in the appropriate level of treatment. Should the participant need a higher level of care such as inpatient residential treatment, the intake assessment counselor will make appropriate arrangements with available providers within the community. Referrals for inpatient/residential treatment outside of Sedgwick County will only be made if local provider resources are unavailable to appropriately meet the participant’s needs.

In addition to utilizing the Texas Christian University’s Drug Screen II outlined above, staff members administer the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) and the CAGE-AID assessment tool. The AUDIT-C has been proven accurate across all ethnic and gender groups, is a valid indicator for severity of alcohol use disorder and is most effective in identifying individuals with at risk, hazardous or harmful drinking. The CAGE-AID tool is a widely used screening test for problem drinking and potential alcohol problems. COMCARE-ATS recognizes the increase in gambling-related behaviors among the substance use disorders population. United States Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration estimates that among clients with substance use disorders the rate of problem gambling is four to five times higher than the general population. As a result, ATS administers the Brief Bio-Social Gambling Screen (BBGS) to individuals who could benefit from problem gambling treatment services. ATS has two Kansas Certified Gambling Counselors assigned to this program who are ab...
