The DAST-10 can be self or clinician administered and is designed to identify problematic substance use over the past 12-months in a similar style to the MAST [521]. In addition to the original 28-item and 10-item DAST, a 20-item version has also been made available. In the 10-item instrument, ‘Yes’ responses are scored as 1, with the total summed apart from question 3, which is reverse scored (i.e., scored 1 for ‘no’) [521]. The DAST-10 is included in Appendix W. Download section Previous Next
