AODAssess.com is the online home of the Center for Addictions Research and Evaluation (CARE). CARE is a Colorado
non-profit corporation established 1974 and has focused on the research and development of self-report psychometric-based
instruments for the assessment of alcohol and other drug use and abuse and related psychosocial problems and conditions for
both adolescent and adult populations. CARE offers two assessment instruments for adolescents: The Substance Use Survey (SUS),
which is a differential initial assessment and screening instrument; and the Adolescent Self-Assessment Profile II (ASAP II),
which is an in-depth, comprehensive assessment for adolescents. The SUS is available only in paper-pencil format and the ASAP II
is available in both paper-pencil format and in an automated software solution.
CARE offers two differential initial assessment and screening instruments for adults: The Adult Substance Use Survey – Revised
(ASUS-R); and the Adult Substance Use and Driving Survey - Revised (ASUDS-R). Both are available in paper-pencil format and
in an automated software solution. Also available are two in-depth and comprehensive assessment instruments: The Adult
Self-Assessment Profile (AdSAP/RAPS); and the Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI). The AdSAP/RAPS and the AUI are currently available
only in paper-pencil format.
The CARE Online Journal, Journal of Substance Use Assessment, will post both professional and scientific articles related to the
assessment of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use patterns and problems and conditions related to AOD use and abuse. This will be
open to the authors of the CARE instruments, to CARE consultants, and to outside authors on a limited basis. Not all articles posted
in the Journal are refereed or peer reviewed. Those that are will be indicated as such.
