Summary
Efficient and organized assessment of addiction is essential for research, treatment planning, and referral to specialized services. The goal of this chapter is to provide basic concepts and examples of formalized assessment for substance and nonsubstance (behavioral) addictions including: alcohol and other drug use, food/eating, gambling, exercise, sex/love, and internet use. Measures of reliability and validity are discussed for each measure presented and include examples of self-report measures, interviews, screening instruments and diagnostic tools. The chapter also relates assessment measures to the criteria for diagnosis using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders where appropriate. Current gaps in research on the conceptualization and operationalization of addiction are discussed in relation to the development, testing and effectiveness of assessment tools for substance and behavioral addictions.
