By letting clients know that the screening questions are routine and asked of all clients, it removes any sense of personal attack or stigma. This can help clients feel more comfortable responding truthfully and can facilitate an honest conversation about their potential addiction issues. The other choices may inadvertently perpetuate stigma or make clients feel defensive.
