Description and Purpose
The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) is a self-report survey tool that was designed in 1982 by Harvey Skinner. The questions are modifications from the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST). It is used to determine if a person might have problematic drug use during the past 12 months. The classes of drugs tested are not limited too but include cannabis, solvents, tranquilizers, cocaine, stimulants, hallucinogens, barbiturates, and narcotics. Alcohol and tobacco are not included in the test. The DAST is used for purposes of screening and includes 28 binary (yes or no) questions related to prescription, over-the-counter, and illegal drug use. The test takes a total of 5-10 minutes. Each question yields a value of one point. Therefore, a total of 28 points are possible. A low score is an indication that a person does not have a problem with drugs. A high score is an indication that a person does have a drug problem (Yudko, Lozhkina, & Fouts, 2007). There are two other versions of the test, DAST-20 and DAST 10.
