When the child reaches his/her 12th birthday administer the Ohio Scales Youth form. This is the pre test Ohio Scales. For the purpose of the Outcomes Data Project the post test Ohio Scales Youth form will be administered at the discharge of the youth. However, if the youth is in mental health services that requires the administration of the Ohio Scales, one should consult the ODMH guidelines for administration of the Ohio Scales Youth after the child has passed his/her 12th birthday.
