This study aimed to develop and validate an assessment tool for social workers to screen whether an individual is able to provide consent for involvement in social work programs. The Capacity Evaluation Screen-Social Work (CES-SW) was developed to be a valid and reliable instrument for brief administration. Theoretically, the CES-SW includes four domains of consent: evidencing a choice, understanding, reasoning, and appreciation. Data were obtained from 264 potential clients from six community welfare centers in South Korea. Reliability and validity were tested through statistical analyses such as item analysis, Pearson's correlation, and confirmatory factor analysis. The CES-SW demonstrates good psychometric properties. Reliability analysis resulted in a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .83, with all of the item–total correlations greater than .50. Convergent validity was supported through significant correlations with cognitive abilities and a significant correlation with the Aid to Capacity Evaluation Scale. Construct validity indicated that the four items constituted a one-model factor. The CES-SW is a valid and reliable instrument to screen potential clients for their capacity to consent to social work services. Future studies should be conducted in other populations for the cross-validation of the instrument and should employ random sampling methods to allow generalization.
