The Work

You will review clinical case materials about children and adolescents affected by substance use. Your written assessments will help AI systems handle sensitive clinical scenarios with appropriate care, safety awareness, and reasoning.

• Use DSM-5 substance use disorder and ASAM frameworks to stage severity and recommend a suitable level of care.
• Evaluate proposed and alternative interventions, including pharmacological options when relevant.
• Distinguish developmentally normal experimentation from clinically significant substance use patterns.
• Identify withdrawal, overdose, safeguarding, and other risks that may require immediate action or escalation.
• Write actionable guidance and explain the clinical reasoning behind your recommendations.
