CONFIDENTIAL ON-LINE SELF-ASSESSMENT SCREENING TOOLS<br />
<strong>Veteran</strong>s concerned about whether drugs or alcohol are harming their health and<br />
putting them at risk for other problems, can assess their consumption patterns<br />
using a free, confidential online tool. By answering a few short questions about<br />
past and present use of various drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, tobacco,<br />
inhalants or alcohol users can get confidential feedback about the likely risks of<br />
drug and alcohol use and advice about when and where to seek more information,<br />
evaluation, and help. The assessment only takes a few minutes to complete and<br />
gives personalized confidential results based on age, gender, and use patterns so<br />
the user can take positive action. For free, confidential on-line alcohol screening,<br />
