| The third in this series of DSM-IV-based symptom checklists, the ASI-4 can be used to evaluate 12- through 18-year-olds. It consists of two checklists--one completed by the teacher and one completed by the parent or anyone familiar with the teenager's behavioral and emotional functioning. |
| The ASI screens for symptoms of the most common adolescent disorders and problem areas specified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): |

| Antisocial Personality |

| Completed in just 10 to 15 minutes, the ASI-4 provides symptom cutoff scores based on DSM-IV. School personnel can use these scores to help determine whether a formal clinical evaluation is warranted. Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists can use them to focus their diagnostic evaluations. |
