The WST is a modified version of the Minnesota Withdrawal Scale [Hughes et al, 1991; Hatsukami et al, 1997; Hughes and Hatsukami, 1986]. The WST is a self-report questionnaire which asks participants to rate 9 items of withdrawal on a scale from 0=None to 4=Severe. A total score is then computed from the responses to these 9 items. In addition, the 9 items are also examined separately.
