Participants were randomized to receive 1 of 3 screening tools—the S2BI (n = 256), BSTAD (n = 267), or TAPS (n = 275)—using a randomization scheme balanced for age (12-13 years vs 14-17 years), sex (male vs female), and clinical setting to ensure baseline comparability of the cohorts assigned to the 3 tools. Screening tool assignments were randomly generated and assigned using a permuted block design with blocks of varying sizes within strata. We administered 1 tool to each participant to avoid the response to an initial screen affecting the response to a subsequent one.Participants self-administered both the screening tool electronically according to their randomization group and a brief electronic assessment battery. An RA then administered a modified version of the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview Substance Abuse Module (WMH-CIDI-SAM).The self-administered assessment battery included 7 demographic items (age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, number of parents or caregivers at home, and highest level of education completed by parents or caregivers), screens for depression (2-question Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-2]
