BAM/Evidence
Method evidence record

BAM

The BAM is a 17-item self-report instrument designed to provide rapid, multimodal assessment of substance use, craving, risk factors, protective factors, and psychosocial functioning in individuals receiving addiction treatment. Developed by Cacciola and colleagues in 2013, it serves as an efficient outcome monitoring tool for tracking treatment progress, identifying relapse warning signs, and guiding therapeutic adjustments. The BAM is useful in treatment settings where frequent assessment of multiple domains is needed to optimize care.
