<i>Objective:</i> The aim of the study was to validate a French adaptation of the 5th version of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) instrument in a Swiss sample of illicit drug users<i>. Participants and Setting:</i> The participants in the study were 54 French-speaking dependent patients, most of them with opiates as the drug of first choice. <i>Procedure:</i> Analyses of internal consistency (convergent and discriminant validity) and reliability, including measures of test-retest and inter-observer correlations, were conducted. <i>Results:</i> Besides good applicability of the test, the results on composite scores (CSs) indicate comparable results to those obtained in a sample of American opiate-dependent patients. Across the seven dimensions of the ASI, Cronbach's α ranged from 0.42 to 0.76, test-retest correlations coefficients ranged from 0.48 to 0.98, while for CSs, inter-observer correlations ranged from 0.76 to 0.99. <i>Conclusions:</i> Despite several limitations, the French version of the ASI presents acceptable criteria of applicability, validity and reliability in a sample of drug-dependent patients.

Baccalaureate education was reformed upon introduction of the Federal Council's Ordinance on Recognition of Baccalaureate (MAV) and the identical Regulation on Recognition of Baccalaureate (MAR) issued by the Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK) in 1995. This reform was evaluated in two stages in the EVAMAR project on behalf of the Confederation and the cantons. EVAMAR I (2002-2004) evaluated the extent of implementation of the Baccalaureate reform in the cantons and Baccalaureate schools. In 2007, its findings were incorporated into the partial revision of the Regulation on Recognition of Baccalaureate . This revision contains, among others, an increase in the importance of natural sciences and of the Baccalaureate essay.
