The SASSI is a brief self-report, easily administered psychological screening
measure that is available in separate versions for adults and adolescents. The
Adult SASSI-3 helps identify individuals who have a high probability of having
a substance dependence disorder with an overall empirically tested accuracy
of 93 percent. The Adolescent SASSI-A2 is designed to identify individuals who
have a high probability of having a substance use disorder, including both
substance abuse and substance dependence, with its decision rules yielding
an overall accuracy of 94 percent. The SASSI includes both face valid and subtle
items that have no apparent relationship to substance use. The subtle items are
included to identify some individuals with alcohol and other drug problems who
are unwilling or unable to acknowledge substance misuse or symptoms associated
with it. Support materials for the SASSI include User’s Guides containing easy-tounderstand instructions for administering, scoring, interpretation, and Manuals
providing comprehensive information on development, reliability, and validity.
