Maudsley Addiction Profile

Summary

MAP was designed to assess four domains with people with drug and alcohol problems. It  was explicitly designed as a core research instrument and to be a resource for treatment services wishing to undertake outcome studies. All of the problem measures can be repeatedly administered at points during and after an index treatment episode. Changes in these measures can then be attributed to treatment or other processes over the intervening period. A key principle behind the MAP is that, as a core instrument, other measures and items can be added as required according to clinical, operational or research requirement. For example, a measure of drug dependence could be included, as well as questions concerning drug use history.
