Welcome to the HiTOP Harmful Substance Use Module (HiTOP-HSUM) instrument resources page. This questionnaire contains a total of 650 possible items across 3 assessment stages. Complex skip/display logic is used, such that the vast majority of respondents will only see a subset of possible items. Here you can download a DOCX summary file that can be printed and shared with IRB as well as ready-to-use imports for both Qualtrics and REDCap (both of which already implement the complex skip/display logic mentioned above). Scoring functions are still under development but should be available soon.
