在之前的研究中，短密歇根酒精中毒筛查测试（SMAST）的改编版本已被用来评估个人的父亲（F-SMAST）和母亲的酒精滥用情况（M-SMAST）。然而，迄今为止，这些表格上的心理测量信息仍然有限。为了更广泛地评估这些形式的心理测量特性，解决了五项相关研究中的几个关键问题。这五项研究的样本取自中西部一所大型大学的大学生。总体而言，改编后的 SMAST 的可靠性和有效性似乎相当不错。 F-SMAST 表现出高可靠性（从内部一致性、时间稳定性和兄弟姐妹之间的可靠性的角度来看）和有效性（与访谈测量和父亲自己的平行仪器报告的收敛性）。此外，将这两个工具缩短为九项版本似乎提高了它们的可靠性和有效性。对于有兴趣评估父母酗酒史的研究人员和临床医生来说，F-SMAST 和 M-SMAST 似乎是一种可靠且有效的纸笔测量方法。
In previous research adapted versions of the Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (SMAST) have been employed to assess an individual's father's (F-SMAST) and mother's alcohol abuse (M-SMAST). However, to date psychometric information on these forms has been limited. In order to more broadly assess the psychometric properties of these forms, several critical issues in five related studies were addressed. The samples for the five studies were drawn from a college population at a large midwestern university. Overall, the reliability and validity of the adapted SMASTs appears to be quite good. The F-SMAST demonstrated high reliability (from the standpoint of internal consistency, temporal stability, and reliability across siblings) as well as validity (both in respect to convergence with an interview measure and with father's own report on a parallel instrument). Furthermore, shortening both of these instruments to nine-item versions appears to improve their reliability and validity. For researchers and clinicians interested in assessing parental history of alcoholism, the F-SMAST and M-SMAST would appear to be a reliable and valid paper-and-pencil measure.
