Michigan Alcohol Screening Tests: Parent/Self Form (ASM)

The Michigan Alcohol Screening Tests include 3 different forms: The Short Form (SMA), Parent Form (PSM), and the Parent/Self Form (ASM).

The Parent/Self Form is a combination of the SMA and the PSM.

Item Coding

The ASM consists of 39 items to which participants respond either "Yes" or "No".
