Identifying alcoholism in treated opiate addicts

BJ Rounsaville, MM Weissman, C Wilber and HD Kleber

The authors evaluated the usefulness of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test in detecting alcoholism (as defined by the Research Diagnostic Criteria) in opiate addicts. The test was found to be adequately sensitive and specific in detecting current cases of alcoholism but inadequate for detecting alcoholic opiate addicts whose drinking was currently under control.
