title: The Substance Abuse Problem Checklist: a new clinical aid for drug and/or alcohol treatment dependency.
abstract: The Substance Abuse Problem Checklist (SAPC) is a self-administered pencil and paper inventory designed specifically to facilitate the counseling of drug and/or alcohol dependent patients. The SAPC provides a cost-effective, quick means of obtaining relevant information about personal and environmental (home, work, neighborhood) problems-in-living which patients typically have when seeking/entering treatment. The orientation of the SAPC is pragmatic and reflects AA and NA's emphasis on taking a personal inventory. The SAPC offers a variety of treatment, research, and administrative uses. Initial studies indicate high reliability.
