What’s New

• Three new assessments are available under the Substance Use Screening category:
  – Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND)
  – Penn State Cigarette Dependence Index (PSCDI)
  – Penn State Electronic Cigarette Dependence Index (PSECDI)

• Assessment scores are automatically calculated using predefined question and scoring mappings.

• The corresponding dependence level is automatically determined based on the calculated total score.
