| Summary: | This study was a sequential explanatory mixed-methods evaluation of two self-reporting screening tools, the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3 (SASSI; Miller, Roberts, Brooks, & Lazowski, 1997a) and the Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI; Derogatis, 1993). Scores of the subscales of each device were clustered to identify themes with the participants. Qualitative data were obtained from an extensive interview, and results were evaluated for identifiable responses or similarities. Approximately one-third of the sample had similar scores from the SASSI and BSI. Clear indications were found that using the SASSI and BSI to identify individuals suspected of substance-use or abuse and incorporating the results of a structured interview based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM; ASAM, 1996) criteria provided necessary data to make consistent treatment recommendations. | |
