Summary scres are mre useful fr aggregating acrss patients. Aggregate scring, r subscale scring, is supplementary and very preliminary, based n clinical judgment rather than empirical data. Preliminary Subscale Scring infrmatin Sum f Items 4,, & 6 = Use (Scres range frm t 12 with higher scres meaning mre Use) Sum f Items 1, 2, 3, 8, 11, & 1 = Risk factrs (Scres range frm t 24 with higher scres meaning mre Risk) Sum f Items 9, 1, 12, 13, 14, & 16 = Prtective factrs (Scres range frm t 24 with higher scres meaning mre Prtectin) Number in ( ) is pints fr each respnse *Item 7 (7A-7G) are nt scred as part f the subscales but prvide elabratin fr item 6. *Item 17 can be used as an verall assessment f treatment prgress, but is nt scred n any f the specific subscales. Clinical guidelines: The three subscales include: Use: If a patient scres a 1 r greater, it calls fr further examinatin and clinical attentin, e.g. cnsider additin f pharmactherapy r higher level f care, add mtivatinal interviewing.

Ntes: It is imprtant t cmpare mst recent BAM scres with prir BAM scres t assess changes in functining and risk status. The gal is t see sizeable changes n each scale with each administratin f the BAM. It is imprtant t take int cnsideratin the relative scres n risk and prtective factrs: If prtective factr scre is greater than risk factr scre, the patient is less at risk fr use. 2 1 1 Risk Factrs Prtective Factrs Beneficial Risk/Prtective Rati 1 If risk factr scre is greater than prtective factr scre, the patient is mre at risk fr use. 2 1 1 Risk Factrs Prtective Factrs Harmful Risk/Prtective Factr Rati 1 If risk factr scre is is equal t prtective factr scre, the patient is at risk fr use and a fcus f treatment shuld be t shift the balance t building prtective factrs and cping with risk factrs. 2 1 1 Risk Factrs Prtective Factrs Balanced scres=wrk n shifting 1 7
