The North Carolina Family Assessment Scale for General Services (NCFAS-G) assists workers to assess families in eight domains of family functioning:

• Environment,
• Parental Capabilities,
• Family Interactions,
• Family Safety,
• Child Well-Being,
• Social and Community Life,
• Self-Sufficiency, and
• Family Health.

The NCFAS-G scale provides assessment ratings of problems and strengths, both at intake and at case closure.  In 2006, the NCFAS-G was field tested in a large county child welfare system with its newly implemented differential response program. The research report was published in American Humane's Protecting Children, Vol. 23, No. 1 and 2, pp. 71–87.
