The psychometric properties of the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) 13‐item short (SMAST) and 10‐item brief (BMAST) versions were aggregated and synthesized across 40 and 21 studies, respectively. Results for reliability, validity, and nonclinical descriptive statistics were reported separately for the SMAST and BMAST, and implications for counseling practice and research were discussed.

This quasi-experimental study examined secondary exposure to trauma and factors of professional quality of life among a national sample of 361 school counselors. Results indicate that major upheaval between parents, death of a close friend or family member, and emotional abuse are the most common traumatic events that school counselors are exposed to and that school counselors in Title I schools report significantly more exposure. Hierarchical multiple regression results revealed that secondary exposure to trauma predicted secondary traumatic stress. We discuss recommendations for research and school counseling practice.
