Danseco, Evangeline R.; Marques, Paul R.
Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v11 n3 p17-36 2002
The Problem-Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT) screens for multiple problems among adolescents at risk for substance use. A shortened version of the POSIT was developed, using factor analysis, and correlational and reliability analyses. The POSIT-SF shows potential for a reliable and cost-efficient screen for youth with substance abuse problems. (Contains 31 references and 5 tables.) (GCP)
