| Summary: | Introduction: A psychoactive substance has become an overwhelming public
health burden globally. It causes social problems for the user and surrounding
people which may affect work or study and cause negative economic impact.
Objective: This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the Alcohol,
Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) into Malay and
to assess its reliability and validity. Methods: The Malay version of the ASSIST
v 3.1 was developed after the translation and back-translation, which included
the stages recommended by Beaton. The ASSIST v 3.1 was administered to 125
respondents. The Malay ASSIST v 3.1 was completed twice by each respondent
7 to 14-day intervals to assess test-retest reliability based on the intra-rater and
interrater correlation coefficient. Results: Majority of the respondents were
male, Malay and currently employed. The intra-rater reliability is 0.84 and the
test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.97) were excellent. Conclusion: Malay ASSIST
v3.1 was a valid and reliable tool to screen substances abuse at varying degree.
Nonetheless, further studies are needed to assess its responsiveness. |
