W71: The OK-COD Screen: Rapid Detection of People with the Co-Occurring Disorders of
Substance Abuse, Mental Illness, Domestic Violence & Trauma
L.D. Barney, MA, LADC & Todd Crawford, MS, LPC, LADC
1.5 hours Focus: Clinical Integrated Interventions
Description:
A small percentage of persons with co-occurring disorders are actually identified. Until now, no integrated tool
has been available. This workshop will introduce participants to a screen that can be quickly administered and
requires little training. As part of its COSIG grant, Oklahoma developed a statistically reliable instrument to
identify the likelihood of mental and substance use disorders as well as the existence of trauma and domestic
violence issues. The OK-COD Screen is copyrighted, and commercial use is prohibited, but it will be made
available at no charge to clinicians and agencies serving those with co-occurring disorders.
Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:
• Use an integrated screening instrument proven to identify persons with a co-occurring disorder;
• Employ a co-occurring screening instrument that is quickly administered and requires little or no
training to use;
• Document the need for further assessment for co-occurring disorders to provide early intervention for
problems that, if ignored, present themselves later in expensive crisis situations.
