Résumé	The ADS is a 25-item self-report scale designed to measure the severity of alcohol dependence symptoms according to the alcohol dependence syndrome concept. Developed by Skinner and Allen in 1982, it focuses on dependence-specific features (withdrawal, tolerance, loss of control, continued use despite harm) rather than social consequences alone. The ADS is widely used in addiction medicine, treatment outcome research, and clinical settings to assess dependence severity, guide detoxification planning, and track treatment response in individuals with alcohol use disorder.	The BPRS is an 18-item clinician-administered scale for rapid assessment of psychiatric symptom severity in psychotic and other major psychiatric disorders. Developed by Overall and Gorham in 1962, it remains widely used in clinical settings and research trials due to its brevity (administration 15–20 minutes), broad symptom coverage (psychotic, mood, and behavioral symptoms), and robust psychometric properties. The BPRS is particularly valued in acute psychiatry, inpatient units, and longitudinal monitoring where quick, repeated assessments are needed.
