Addictive Behavior Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to screen for patterns consistent with addictive and compulsive behaviors across substances and activities. The Addictive Behavior Assessment is a brief self-report questionnaire intended to support initial clinical formulation and referral decisions.
It includes 32 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items sample common features of problematic use or engagement (e.g., loss of control, preoccupation, negative consequences) and can be used alongside clinical interview and other sources of information.
When interpreted in context, the Addictive Behavior Assessment may help quantify symptom burden and track change over time. If cited, authorship is sometimes attributed to G. Alan Marlatt.
