A systematic review of brief, freely accessible, and valid self-report measures for substance use disorders and treatment

•We conducted a systematic review of brief, valid, freely accessible measures for substance use disorder.•Out of 411 measures, 73 (18%) met our inclusion criteria and had their psychometric strength evaluated.•We classified 14 (19%) included measures as psychometrically “excellent,” 27 (37%) as “good,” and 32 (44%) as “adequate.”•Many areas of substance use disorder health care are lacking pragmatic, psychometrically valid measures.
