The Addiction Severity Index--Multimedia Version (ASI-MV) offers reliable and valid self-administration for addiction assessment. It proves a cost-effective and dependable alternative to traditional interviewer-administered methods.

Area of Science:

Psychological Assessment
Clinical Psychology
Substance Abuse Research

Background:

The standard Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is interviewer-administered, posing challenges with cost and reliability.
A multimedia, self-administered version (ASI-MV) was developed to address these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the ASI-MV.
To assess the criterion validity of the ASI-MV against the standard ASI.
To examine the convergent-discriminant validity of the ASI-MV.

Main Methods:

202 clients in treatment self-administered the ASI-MV.
ASI-MV data were compared to interviewer-administered ASI scores.
Reliability and validity analyses were conducted on composite scores and severity ratings.

Main Results:

The ASI-MV demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability for composite scores and severity ratings.
Criterion validity against the interviewer-ASI was good for composite scores.
The ASI-MV showed superior convergent-discriminant validity compared to the standard ASI, indicating potential issues with interviewer consistency.

Conclusions:

The ASI-MV is a reliable and valid self-administered tool for addiction severity assessment.
It presents a viable, potentially more consistent alternative to the traditional interviewer-administered ASI.
Findings suggest the ASI-MV may offer improved validity due to its standardized administration.
