What information does the PP70 screen provide?

The PP70 screen provides a referral and treatment summary, which is essential for understanding an offender's historical and ongoing treatment needs. This information allows correctional and probation officers to assess the effectiveness of interventions and coordinate appropriate services. The referral and treatment summary can include details such as past referrals for counseling, participation in substance abuse programs, and any other rehabilitative measures the offender has engaged in. Having this comprehensive view is crucial for case management, as it helps in devising tailored strategies to support the offender’s rehabilitation process and ultimately reduce recidivism.

Other types of information, such as officer contact history, offender drug test history, or offender classification systems, serve different purposes and are found in other parts of the system but do not provide the same insight into the individual's treatment journey as the referral and treatment summary does.
