SAST
The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) is designed to assist in the assessment of sexually compulsive or “addictive” behavior.
Developed in cooperation with hospitals, treatment programs, private therapists, and community groups, the SAST provides a profile of responses that help to discriminate between addictive and non-addictive behavior.
To complete the test, answer each question by placing a check next to the appropriate yes/no column. Indicate “yes” if the statement has ever been true in your lifetime.
