Appendix 4 (cont)
Adapted Impaired Control Scale (ICSdrg): instructions, items and response choices
Part 3 of three parts
In the previous section we asked you about what actually happened with your drug use over the past three months. In this section we are interested in what would happen to your drug use now.
16 I would find it difficult to limit the amount I use.
17 I would start to use even after deciding not to.
18 Even if I intended using only once, I would end up doing it much more.
19 I could cut down my drug use (ie use less) if I wanted to.
20 I would start using at times when it would cause me problems (e.g. problems at work, with family/friends or with the police).
21 I could stop taking drugs easily after one or two hits.
22 I could stop taking drugs before becoming completely stoned.
23 I would have an irresistible urge to continue taking drugs once I had started.
24 I would find it difficult to resist taking drugs, even for a single day.
25 I could slow down my drug use if I wanted to.
