Zugriff:
The sensitivity and specificity of several screening instruments including the CAGE, brief MAST. AUDIT, TWEAK. RAPS. and Trauma Scale, were evaluated against both ICD-10 and DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence and for harmful drinking and abuse in a probability sample of 586 Hispanic emergency department patients. Screening instruments were not as sensitive for females as for males, for those in the low acculturation group, or for non-dependent drinkers. Acculturation was positively associated with the likelihood of being a current drinker, and among current drinkers, was positively associated with alcohol dependencc and with harmful drinking or alcohol abuse.
