The SA–45 is scored relative to a normative database of over 18,000 individuals.

These groups included; 5,317 adult females, 5,854 adult males, 2,889 adolescent females, and 2,331 adolescent males who were admitted to inpatient facilities for behavioral health treatment. Appendices in the manual provide age-specific and gender-specific inpatient and nonpatient normative data.
