University students are also a high-risk population for developing substance and behavioural additions. This study asse...

      ab: The Screener for Substance and Behavioural Addictions (SSBA) was recently developed to measure addiction risk across a wide range of substances and behaviours in adult populations. University students are also a high-risk population for developing substance and behavioural additions. This study assessed the reliability, validity, and predictive utility of the SSBA in a sample of 656 university students. Participants completed the SSBA and external screening instruments for the target substances and behaviours. The SSBA demonstrated good-to-excellent convergent validity and internal consistency across all substance and behaviours. Selected cut-points also showed good sensitivity and specificity. Overall, the SSBA provides an accurate and reliable measure of addiction risk across a range substances and behaviours in university students. It may be an effective tool for identifying university students at-risk for developing addiction problems, and who would benefit from further clinical assessment. Implications and future directions of the SSBA are discussed.
