A Psychometric Evaluation of the SASSI-3 in a College Sample
Laux, John M.; Salyers, Kathleen M.; Kotova, Ekaterina
Journal of College Counseling, v8 n1 p41 Spr 2005
Although the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3 (SASSI-3; F. G. Miller & L. E. Lazowski, 1999) is widely used with college students (L. Myerholtz & H. Rosenberg, 1998), it is unclear whether the SASSI-3 is appropriate for use with this population. The authors investigated the SASSI-3's psychometric capabilities in a college student sample (N = 230). They found that the SASSI-3's psychometric properties are equal to or exceed those of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (M. L. Seizer, 1971), the CAGE (J. A. Ewing, 1984), and the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale-Revised (C. MacAndrew, 1965).
