Alcohol and Drug Use/Abuse
- Substance Abuse: (subject-baseline, subject-follow-up, collateral-follow-up, subject-release)
An assessment of the subject's drug and alcohol use from the
subject's own perspective (subject baseline and subject
follow-up) or the peer collateral (collateral follow-up). In the
release interview, these questions assess the subject's own drug
and alcohol use during their stay as well as whether they observed
other residents at the facility using drugs or alcohol. Additional
questions in the release interview also address whether the subject
has sold drugs or witnessed drugs being sold in the institution.
