Certified Prevention Specialist CPS Practice Exam

The strategy of Problem Identification and Referral involves recognizing problems related to substance use and directing individuals toward the appropriate interventions or support systems. Each of the other options listed involves mechanisms specifically designed to identify individuals in need of assistance and help to connect them with the resources available.

Driving-while-intoxicated Education Programs primarily focus on educating individuals about the consequences of driving under the influence rather than acting as a referral mechanism for individuals exhibiting substance abuse issues. While these programs are essential for preventing future incidents, they do not typically engage in the identification and referral process that connects individuals to ongoing support or treatment for substance misuse.

In contrast, Employee Assistance Programs, Student Assistance Programs, and Teen Courts are directly involved in identifying individuals who may have problems related to substance use and referring them to appropriate resources. These programs play a crucial role in recognizing issues early and facilitating access to the necessary support.
