本文讨论了评估和测量物质使用行为的各种方法，并描述了每种测量工具的相对优点和缺点。自我报告工具是物质使用评估最方便且使用最广泛的形式。自我报告措施可以通过各种管理模式获得，包括通过纸笔问卷、计算机辅助自我访谈或交互式录音进行自我管理，以及通过个人（访谈员管理）访谈进行自我报告。讨论了每种给药方式的优点和缺点。替代评估技术，例如生物测量，也经常用于测量物质使用或验证物质使用的自我报告测量。本文回顾了验证自我报告措施的各种可用方法，重点介绍了目前使用的自我报告和生物测试技术。最后，它提出了改进当前物质使用测量技术的未来研究途径。
This article discusses various means of assessing and measuring substance use behaviors and describes the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of the measurement tools. Self-report instruments are the most convenient and widely used forms of substance use assessment. Self-report measures can be obtained through various modes of administration, including self-administration via paper-and-pencil questionnaires, computer assisted self-interviews or interactive voice recording, and through personal (interviewer-administered) interviews. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these modes of administration are discussed. Alternative assessment techniques, such as biological measurements, are also frequently used to measure substance use or to validate self-report measures of substance use. This article reviews the various available methods for validating self-report measures, highlighting self-report and biological testing techniques currently in use. It concludes by suggesting future avenues of research for improving upon current substance use measurement techniques.
