Name: SASSI-A2 Sample Age: 14 Sex: M Referred By: You Interpret Date: 12/19/01 Test Date: 12/19/01 PHONE (800) 588-9412 FAX (608) 756-5840 SUBSTANCE ABUSE SUBTLE SCREENING BATTERY REPORT - ADOLESCENT 2 REPORT To aid in diagnosis and treatment planning, Mr. Test was administered the SASSI-A2. The following test findings are based on Mr. Test's responses to a widely used standardized psychological test. As with all such tests, the validity of test results is limited by Mr. Test's honesty and self-awareness. This report should be taken as generalized probability statements that are made without benefit of clinical interview or history. Further clinical verification is needed to assist in the interpretation of test findings in light of Mr. Test's unique history and present circumstances. As psychological tests were designed primarily for diagnosis and treatment planning purposes, the findings below focus on problems, deficits and pathology and may de-emphasize Mr. Test's strengths. Because of this, use without collaboration, other than for the clinical screening purpose, for which they are intended, may be misleading. This is a CONFIDENTIAL REPORT meant for qualified Mental Health, Correctional and Substance Abuse professionals. While feedback of test findings to clients is highly encouraged and should be an integral part of therapy and treatment planning, clients should not be given copies of this report, as they are likely to misunderstand report contents and their tentative nature. VALIDITY OF TEST RESULTS Mr. Test did not randomly answer questions about his substance use. Mr. Test was normally disclosive in answering test questions. As a result, the following findings are likely to accurately reflect his pattern of substance use. Supplemental validity measures suggest extreme defensiveness in responding to specific substance use related items. ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE Mr. Test reports absolutely alcohol sobriety and does not admit to any use-related symptoms on face valid measures. Mr. Test reports absolutely no drug use or use-related symptoms on face valid measures. Severe Obvious Attributes empirically found among chemically dependent individuals were endorsed by Mr. Test. Average levels of Subtle Attributes of chemically dependent individuals were found. Average levels of substance use related symptoms and consequences are admitted to. Blackouts, tolerance change, loss of control, hangovers and withdrawal signs are unlikely. Mr. Test doers not feel that substance use has had a significant effect on his life. Average levels of involvement with family and/or friends who heavily use substances are reported. If true, social factors are not likely to encourage substance use. Mr. Test has positive attitudes toward substance use. Use of substances is not seen as unusual, negative or abnormal, with him focusing on seeing substance use as positive and enhancing. While testing did not support a diagnosis of chemical dependency, the degree of defensiveness found and/or elevated Secondary Classification Scale makes this finding questionable and worthy of further clinical investigation. TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS While testing does not indicate addiction, a proneness to abuse exists which may require AA or educational programming.
