Abstract:
This archival study examined the effectiveness of the Million Adolescent Clinical Inventory Substance-Abuse Proneness scale in identifying clinically diagnosed alcohol and drug abusers in a diverse sample of 339 adjudicated adolescents in a forensic assessment setting. There was a highly significant difference on base rate scale scores between groups diagnosed with a substance use disorder and no disorder.
