DAST-20 (The Drug Abuse Screening test)
The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) was designed to provide a
brief instrument for clinical and non-clinical screening to detect
drug abuse or dependence disorders.
It is most useful in settings in which seeking treatment for drug
use problems is not the patient's stated goal.

problem severity that can be used to guide further inquiry into
drug-related problems and to help determine treatment
intensity.
