Development and validation of the Compulsive Substance Use Questionnaire: Attending to substance use automaticity, craving, and continued use despite negative consequences

Future work investigating compulsivity in other substance use populations with varying levels of severity will further our understanding of compulsive substance use and SUD subtypes.
