action levels exist for needs and strengths. For a description of these
action levels please see below.
SIX KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE CANS - Rating should describe the
youth, not the youth in services. - Precise Answer ✔✔If an intervention
is present that is masking a need but must stay in place, this should be
,factored into the rating consideration and would result in a rating of an
"actionable" need
SIX KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE CANS - Culture and development
should be considered prior to establishing the action levels. - Precise
Answer ✔✔Cultural sensitivity involves considering whether cultural
factors are influencing the expression of needs and strengths. Ratings
should be completed considering the youth's developmental and/or
chronological age depending on the item. In other words, anger control
is not relevant for a very young child but would be for an older youth or
youth regardless of developmental age. Alternatively, school
achievement should be considered within the framework of expectations
based on the child/youth's developmental age.

"agnostic as to etiology" - Precise Answer ✔✔In other words this is a
descriptive tool; it is about the "what" not the "why." Only one item,
