Description

The PEI helps you identify, refer and treat teenagers with drug and alcohol problems. It is particularly useful because it covers all forms of substance abuse, assesses both chemical involvement and related psychosocial problems, and documents the need for treatment.

This convenient self-report inventory, used with more than 100,000 adolescents in facilities throughout the country, documents chemical involvement in 12- to 18-year-olds and identifies personal risk factors that may precipitate or sustain substance abuse.

In addition, five validity scales alert you to response distortion, including defensiveness, “faking bad,” and inattentive responding. Norms, based on nearly 2,000 adolescents, are provided by age and gender for both drug clinic populations and regular high school samples. So you may see where the teenager stands in relation not only to the most extreme cases but also to average adolescents.

The entire inventory may be completed in just 45 minutes. It is then computer scored which provides a complete interpretive report.

The PEI is routinely used in substance abuse treatment programs, student assistance programs, juvenile rehabilitation centres, and private practice. Reinforcing the trend toward earlier intervention, the PEI makes it easier to evaluate the many adolescents who are entering the health care system at younger ages, with more poorly defined problems. It permits more specialised treatment.  Then it documents the need for treatment, for insurance companies, the juvenile justice system, and parents.
