Name Time Method Adolescents' behavior changes related to COM-B part of Behavior Change Wheel assessment form 3 months This tool assesses adolescents' behavior changes related to substance abuse using the COM-B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation). It consists of 15 items measuring adolescents' feelings and experiences related to substance use. Scoring ranges from 0 to 30, with a cutoff of 60% (18 points) indicating satisfactory behavior change. Validity and reliability were established through expert review and a Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.80.
Reported assessment checklist of the second layer of Behavior Change Wheel 3 months This checklist evaluates adolescents' knowledge and practices regarding substance abuse through two parts: knowledge assessment with 10 items and reported practices across nine intervention functions. Each section uses varying scoring systems with cutoff points at 60% for satisfactory performance. The tool's validity and reliability were confirmed by experts and a Cronbach's alpha above 0.81.
Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Involvement Scale (AADIS) 3 Months The AADIS is a standardized self-report tool measuring adolescents' frequency of alcohol and drug use over the past month. It includes 14 items, where higher scores indicate greater substance use involvement. A cutoff score of 37 is used to identify potential substance use disorders based on DSM-IV criteria. Interpretations range from no use (0) to possible substance use disorder (37 or higher).
