ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test)

The ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess an individual's use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. It helps identify whether someone’s substance use might be problematic or risky. The screening asks about frequency and quantity of use, as well as related problems. Based on responses, it indicates the level of concern and guides whether further assessment or intervention is needed. The goal is to promote awareness and support healthier choices, ultimately reducing potential harm from substance use.
