OBJECTIVE. To develop a brief alcohol and other drug (AOD) screening test for adolescents.
METHODS. A 9-item test was constructed by combining and modifying items from several AOD assessments, and administered concurrently with the Personal Involvement With Chemicals Scale (PICS), the criterion standard. SETTING. A hospital-based adolescent clinic. SUBJECTS. Fourteen- to 18-year-old patients consecutively arriving for routine medical care who were known to have used AOD. MEASURES. Internal consistency of the 9 items was calculated using the Cronbach α. The relationship between the brief screen and PICS raw score was determined by stepwise linear regression analysis. The PICS T score has been shown to correctly classify substance abuse treatment need as no treatment (T RESULTS. Ninety-nine adolescents were tested (70.7% female, 36.4% black, 32.3% white, 19.2% Hispanic, mean age, 16.3 years). The 9 items had good internal consistency (Cronbach α=.79). Stepwise linear regression analysis identified 6 items whose total combined score was highly correlated with PICS (Pearson r=0.84, P<.01 this model correctly classified of subjects according to the pics criteria. two or more yes answers had a sensitivity and specificity for intensive aod treatment need. items were arranged into mnemonic> CONCLUSIONS. Further research must confirm the test's psychometric properties in a general clinic population. However, CRAFFT seems promising as a brief AOD screening test. |
