Substance Abuse Treatment
and Domestic Violence



Appendix C -- Instruments

This appendix reproduces the following tools:

  • Abuse Assessment Screen (in English and Spanish)
  • Danger Assessment
  • Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory (PMWI)
  • Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2)
Although these instruments have been used extensively in research settings, they have not been validated as clinical tools; nor do they have instructions for scoring. The PMWI and the CTS2, in particular, were designed as research tools, not clinical tools, and do not have cutting scores (the score beyond which a person has a problem). All the instruments in this appendix can, however, serve to open dialogue with a client, elicit information, promote discussion, and help evaluate a program.
