The frequent co-occurrence of alcoholism withserious mental illnesses (“dual diagnosis”)necessitates that clinicians are able to recognize itspresence in people with disabling mental illnesses. This study demonstrates that professionals oftenmiss the diagnosis, but that their ability to detectalcoholism can be greatly enhanced by the use of asimple screening tool. Members of an urban psychosocial rehabilitation program who received psychiatrictreatment in an affiliated outpatient clinic wereinterviewed after their clinic therapists andrehabilitation counselors had been asked questionspertaining to their general health and substance use. Themembers were interviewed with two screening tests, theCAGE and the SMAST, and a clinical DSMIII-R diagnosis ofalcohol use disorder was established. Both the SMAST and CAGE had good sensitivity and theaddition of a screener enhanced the clinicians' abilityto detect alcohol use disorders.
