There are various screening and assessment tools that may be used in addictions. Discuss the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, reliability and validity and explain why each is so important to proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Select three different assessment or screening devices that you might use in your work as a clinician, and compare and contrast these measures on the dimensions of sensitivity, specificity, reliability and validity. Of the three measures which you described, which one do you feel is stronger and why? How could you use these assessment tools in different types of settings? Conclude with a brief discussion about the ethical, legal, individual and socio-cultural implications of screening and assessment to consider when selecting an appropriate tool. Be sure to fully support your position by providing both in-text citations and a full reference page as per APA style guidelines.
