Wright, Ervin E., II; Piazza, Nick J.; Laux, John M.
Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling, v28 n2 p119-127 Apr 2008
Previous studies have shown the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory-3 (G. Miller, 1999) to be valid in classifying substance use disorders in forensic and mentally ill populations. The authors found that it also correctly classified substance use disorders in the understudied not guilty by reason of insanity population. (Contains 3 tables.)
