The ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test) is a validated assessment tool specifically designed for identifying substance use disorders in adolescents and adults. It assesses the frequency and intensity of substance use, as well as associated problems and risks. Parent report and blood/urine tests can be useful in conjunction with the ASSIST, but alone they may not provide a comprehensive assessment of the extent of the adolescent's substance use disorder. The CAGE assessment tool is specifically focused on identifying alcohol use disorder, so it may not be the most appropriate choice for screening for other substance use disorders.
