Adjudicative Guidelines for Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, and Mental/ Emotional Disorders. Revision

Abstract

This report documents the results of a review by subject matter experts of the Department of Defense (DoD) adjudicative guidelines for alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and mental/emotional disorders. These guidelines are used as standards for determining eligibility for a DoD security clearance when personnel security investigations uncover adverse information in these areas. The objective of the project was to develop guidelines consistent with current scientific research and medical practice. Based on input from subject matter experts via questionnaires and workshops, recommended revisions to these criteria were generated. In addition, key differences were identified between the recommended and current guidelines as well as critical issues related to the revisions in each adjudicative area.
