Valoración Global de Necesidades Individuales – (VGNI)
Introduction | VGNI-I | VGNI-B | VGNI-CB | VGNI-M90 | Other | Translation
The Valoración Global de Necesidades Individuales – (VGNI) is the Spanish language version of the GAIN. Like its English counterpart, the VGNI is composed of a series of measures designed to support a) initial screenings, brief interventions and referrals, b) standardized biopsychosocial clinical assessments for diagnosis, placement, and treatment planning, c) monitoring of changes in clinical status, service utilization, and costs to society, and d) subgroup and program level needs assessment and evaluation.
Currently the VGNI is not available as a computer application.
