| Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Aims: This study evaluated the generalizability of findings by Wertz, Cleaveland, and Stephens (Journal of Substance Abuse, 1995, 7, 175-188) that reductions in the Addiction Severity Index's (ASI) alcohol and drug composite scores (CSs) following treatment were largely associated with reductions in subjective ratings of "being bothered/troubled" or "need for treatment" rather than more objective frequency of behaviors/problems. Design and participants: The data from three independent studies/groups of substance dependent patients--alcohol dependent (n=165), cocaine dependent (n=155), and opioid dependent (n=288)--were evaluated to determine whether positive changes in the ASI's CSs following treatment were driven by "objective" or "subjective" items, or both. Findings: An analysis of the drug and alcohol sections revealed that CSs in these two problem areas were significantly lower at 6 months post-treatment entry and that both types of items showed significant reductions. Both types of items also generally contributed to significant reductions of CSs in the medical, legal, family-social and psychiatric areas of the ASI. Conclusions: It was concluded that Wertz et al.'s (1995) failure to find reductions in the objective items of the ASI's alcohol and drug sections was likely study specific. |
