Summary
A questionnaire consisting of nine questions about drinking habits was used in a preventive programme for middle-aged males in Malmo. With a cut-off point of two yes-answers to the questions, 66% of a group of heavy drinkers, 73 % of all registered alcoholics and 90% of not previously identified alcoholics were identified. Serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), used as an indicator of heavy alcohol consumption in the screening, was a poor instrument for the detection of alcoholism in the same population, assigning correctly only 35%. In combination, the two tests identified 82% of all registered alcoholics, and 97% of the alcoholics who were registered in the period following the screening investigation. Thus Mm-MAST is a useful screening test for alcoholism in medical screening examinations and may successfully be used in combination with biochemical tests.
