CANS
Use of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS-MH) tool requires CANS-Training and Certification to ensure consistency of ratings across users. Therefore, you must successfully complete training and certification prior to using the tool in your work. Typically, consistent evaluation of vignettes at a reliability level of 0.70% agreement is considered sufficient.
John S. Lyons, Ph.D., of the University of Ottawa Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, created the CANS tool in collaboration with others. The copyright is held by the Praed Foundation.
