Use of the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory with a College Population.

Cooper, Stewart E.; Robinson, Debra A. G.

Journal of American College Health, v36 n3 p180-84 Nov 1987

Use of the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI), a new instrument for assessing chemical dependency, was tested on 376 college students. The SASSI showed significant promise in discriminating between nonabusers, moderate abusers, and severe abusers. The need for an instrument impervious to social desirability effects is discussed.
