Outcomes measurement tool: attitudes & feelings - self-efficacy. creator: Martin, Garth W subject: Drugs and alcohol recovery subject: Coping skills subject: Motivation subject: Emotion subject: Attitude and behaviour subject: Treatment outcome subject: Risk assessment subject: Social context subject: Context encouraging drugs and alcohol use subject: Context discouraging drugs and alcohol use description: Clients are asked to imagine themselves in a particular situation and to rate their level of confidence (self-efficacy) to resist drug use in that situation. Each of the scale items represents a different situation in which a drug user might be tempted to use drugs. The DASES is a relatively brief and easy to use measure of self-efficacy. It is useful as an outcome measure because it has been demonstrated to predict subsequent drug use. There is evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the scale, although its use has been restricted to young multiple drug users (aged 16-30). date: 1991 type: Teaching Resource type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/26769/1/Drug_avoidance_self-efficacy_scale_%28DASES%29.pdf identifier: Martin, Garth W (1991) Drug avoidance self-efficacy scale (DASES).
