ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the SASSI as a screen for substance abuse in pregnancy with the patient history and toxicology screening. STUDYDESIGN:
On 560 patients the substance abuse history and urine toxicology was obtained at registration in the prenatal clinic. Each patient also completed the SASSI questionnaire. The SASSI was compared with each screen individually and the result of the SASSI and the patient's history were combined for comparison with the toxicology results.RESULTS:
SASSI was found to be more selective as a screen for substance abuse than urine toxicology and it gave a profile of alcohol use which was absent on the toxicology screen.CONCLUSIONS:
The SASSI is a more effective clinical tool for identifying substance abuse and more cost effective than toxicology screening.
