Popis: It is vital to identify substance use disorders (SUDs) in youths and adults early and accurately. Previous studies have investigated the validity and reliability of the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Youth Self Report (YSR) for other related anxiety, mood, and behavior problems. The present study tested if the CBCL and YSR substance use items can discriminate adolescents with versus without a SUD diagnosis accurately enough to justify clinical application within an evidence-based assessment framework.
