Initial clinical intake: The PADDI‐5 is an ideal adolescent friendly interview for performing a mental health and substance use disorder assessment as part of any routine clinical intake specifically designed to address common issues among adolescents.

Documentation of severity: The DSM‐5 defines severity for both substance use and mental health disorders in terms of the number of positive diagnostic criteria.
Verification of improvement: Reviewing disorders with positive diagnostic findings can determine if the conditions have improved or if recovery can be documented.
Informing Dimensions 1 and 3 of the ASAM Criteria:
Dimension 1: The PADDI‐5 questions on recent use patterns can identify possible withdrawal concerns.
Dimension 3: The extensive coverage of mental health conditions provides substantial information on commonly occurring co‐occurring conditions.
