Reviewer Notes
The Child and Adolescent Service Intensity Instrument (CASII) and the Child and Adolescent Level of Care Utilization System (CALOCUS) have now merged to form the CALOCUS-CASII. Though AACAP and AACP will phase out the use of each individual instrument in favor of the “merged” CALOCUS-CASII instrument, this process will not take place until the last quarter of 2021.
