SASSI
The SASSI is a comprehensive self-report inventory designed to identify substance abuse and dependence through both direct and indirect assessment methods. Developed by Glenn Miller in 1997 and updated to the SASSI-3 format, it employs 'subtle' items that indirectly measure substance abuse risk without openly asking about drug or alcohol use, thereby reducing response bias and improving detection in individuals who may be motivated to minimize their substance use. The SASSI is widely used in clinical, occupational health, and criminal justice settings.
