Résumé : |
ENGLISH : In this era of widespread alcohol and drug use among teenagers and of limited treatment resources, there is an obvious need to make sound treatment decisions. Standardized evaluation instruments with demonstrated reliability and validity are the best means available for making decisions about who to treat, how to secure their cooperation, what life problems to address and how, and what behavioral indicators to use to measure change. The purpose of this booklet is to identify and evaluate the standardized assessment tools for adolescent drug and alcohol use. Further information is presented that will allow providers in various settings to choose which of the standardized assessment tools is best for their purpose. Of course, "best" must be judged along several dimensions --ease of administration and scoring, cost, what exactly it is designed to measure, as well as whether it is psychometrically sound (that is, actually measures what it purports to measure). The evaluation instruments are organized into three broad categories: screening instruments, mid-range assessment instruments and comprehensive assessment instruments. Though the distinctions are somewhat arbitrary, they are made based on amount of time needed to administer and how many of the basic areas necessary for treatment are actually measured.
