Mentioned in University of Washington’s Substance Use Screening & Assessment Instruments Database (2006).
Marked in University of Washington’s Substance Use Screening & Assessment Instruments Database (2006) as “widely used and have proven reliability and validity.” Reliability is measured by inter-rater (or joint), test-retest (or stability), and internal (or internal consistency). Validity is measured by construct, content, discriminate (convergent or divergent) and face validity. See http://lib.adai.washington.edu/instruments/glossary.htm.
