Disclaimer - The Substances and Choices Scale (SACS) is available for use by researchers and not-for-profit health agencies that provide services to enhance the health and well-being of young people. It has been designed to be only used by health professionals who have an active and ongoing relationship with the recipient of the questionnaire. This is so that issues around confidentiality can be discussed, and so that appropriate mental health support can be accessed if required. ALAC and those involved in developing the SACS do not accept any responsibility or liability for any direct or indirect loss, problems or consequences of any kind arising from the use or misuse of the SACS.
