Validation and Performance of the Brief Screener for Substance and Behavioural Addiction (SSBA) Amongst University Students.
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 asse...

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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
