Use Guidelines
We hereby advise the Purchaser of the following guidelines:
The SASSI instruments are designed and distributed for use as screening instruments and, as such, do not yield diagnoses.

The SASSI instruments are also designed to identify people with substance use disorders regardless of the current course of the disorder; thus, individuals who are in remission or recovery may show test-positive results.

The SASSI instruments and the BADDS should not be used as part of a screening process to discriminate against individuals, i.e., eliminate job applicants, abridge people’s rights and entitlements for general assistance or other aid, or for any other purpose that may violate the Americans With Disabilities Act or other Human Rights laws in your area.

Refer to the SASSI instrument manuals, the BADDS User’s Guide & Manual, or contact us for information regarding development and validation.

View our full position statement on the proper use of our instruments.

  • Individuals with a bachelor’s degree in psychology or a related discipline (e.g., counseling, education, human resources, social work, criminal justice, etc.) and coursework related to psychological assessments and surveys.
  • Professional membership in an organization that requires training and experience in the use of psychological assessments and surveys.
  • Individuals who have completed BADDS training online.
