Samenvatting	The ASI is a multidimensional, clinician-administered semi-structured interview assessing severity of substance use disorder and related psychosocial problems across seven domains: medical, employment, drug use, alcohol use, legal, family/social, and psychiatric. Developed by McLellan and colleagues in 1980 and refined through editions, it has become the gold standard comprehensive assessment tool in addiction medicine, substance abuse treatment programs, and research. The ASI provides both interview-derived severity ratings (0–9 per domain) and composite scores enabling treatment planning and outcome monitoring.	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.
