The passage discusses the Addiction Severity Index - Lite (ASI-Lite) which is a questionnaire used to assess a person's substance use and any related problems.

The ASI-Lite is an adapted version of an evaluation instrument used to assess substance abuse. It asks questions about alcohol and drug use, and any problems in these areas, with the information kept confidential for research purposes.

The ASI-Lite assesses use of alcohol, heroin, methadone, other opiates/analgesics, barbiturates, other sedatives/hypnotics/tranquilizers, cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis, hallucinogens, inhalants, and use of multiple substances per day including alcohol.
