ANS: B
HEADSSS structures the interview to gather data useful in assessing risk factors. HEADSSS refers
to home environment; education; activities; drug, alcohol, tobacco use; sexuality; suicide risk; and
savagery (violence/abuse in the environment). Option A: Rapport would be difficult to establish if
only the HEADSSS interview is used. Option C: Direct questions might better identify treatment
objectives. Option D: The mental status examination would be preferable.
