Indirect Scale for the Use of Psychoactive Substances

The present monograph presents the construction and psychometric characteristics of an indirect scale for the use of psychoactive substances in adolescence. The term indirect assessment implies the determination of the person's status based on mental characteristics and behaviors without direct questions about personal experience in drug use. The tool is designed for individual research, but above all for mass screening studies (at school) to identify the problem early.

The book will be useful for professionals or people with professional interests in the field of psychological assessment.
