Description

This self-report inventory provides comprehensive information about substance abuse patterns in adults (ages 19 or older). It may be used to identify alcohol and drug problems, make referrals, and plan treatment. And, because substance abuse rarely occurs in isolation, the PEI-A also assesses a range of psychosocial problems associated with substance abuse today. Written at a sixth-grade reading level, the PEI-A has two parts – the Problem Severity Section (120 items) and the Psychosocial Section (150 items):

Problem Severity Scales

Personal Involvement With Drugs       
Physiological Dependence
Effects of Use
Social Benefits of Use
Personal Consequences of Use

Transsituational Use

Psychosocial Scales

Validity indicators are also included.

Respondents usually complete the test in 45 to 60 minutes. The PEI-A is then computer-scored which gives you a complete interpretive report.  This compares the clients scores to those of two norm groups: 895 drug clinic clients and 690 normal, nonclinical adults.

The PEI-A detects signs of substance abuse and dependence, pinpoints the nature and style of drug use, documents onset, duration, and frequency of use, assesses factors that precipitate or maintain drug use, and identifies behavioural or emotional problems that may accompany drug use. It is invaluable for treatment planning and outcome measurement.
