    Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Involvement Scale (AADIS)

    Uploaded by

    Janine Carmel
    The Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Involvement Scale (AADIS) is a brief screening tool designed to determine the need for a full assessment of an adolescent's use of alcohol and other drugs. It consists of 14 questions that assess patterns of substance use, consequences of use, and perceived problems. Scores on the AADIS range from 0 to over 37, with scores over 37 indicating a need for further clinical assessment to determine if the individual meets diagnostic criteria for a substance use disorder. The AADIS is intended as a research instrument and screening tool, not a clinical diagnostic measure.
