SASSI: Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventories (Adult and Adolescent)

The Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventories are self-report screening instruments designed to accurately identify adolescents and adults with high probability of having a substance use disorder. The SASSI can screen identify the probability of substance abuse among adolescents and get insight into clinical issues teens face (e.g., emotional pain, level of acknowledgement of the substance abuse, social system impact). SASSI can also detect substance abuse disorders in clients who are unwilling or unable to acknowledge substance misuse and symptoms associated with it. The new prescription drug scale helps identify individuals who are likely to be abusing prescription medication.
