โœฆ Synopsis

Used discriminant function analysis to identify and cross-validate a subset of items on the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) that in combination maximally distinguish between male and female psychiatric inpatients (N = 120) diagnosed as having alcohol-related and non-alcohol-related disorders. Classification of S s by use of the composite variate showed 88% overall accuracy with an 83% valid positive rate in the validation sample, but only 65% overall accuracy and a lO9b valid positive rate in an independent cross-validation group. The reliability of the MAST interview did not decline at higher levels of alcohol involvement.

'I would like to thank Dr. John White, the staff of the Acute Care Unit, and the membership of the Research Review Committee of the Lincoln Regional Center for their valuable suggestions and cooperation in making this study possible.
