总结
酒精和毒品相关问题国际分类的最新发展强调了依赖综合症与各种毒品相关残疾之间的区别。虽然相当多的研究支持酒精依赖综合征的概念，但迄今为止对其他精神活性物质进行的实证研究很少。本研究评估了是否可以确定依赖综合征的临床样本的105名麻醉品使用者谁完成了药物滥用筛选测试（DAST）。对20个DAST项目的因素分析揭示了一个依赖性因素，其特征是无法摆脱药物使用，在没有药物的情况下度过一周的问题，以及停止使用药物时的戒断症状。此外，还确定了其他四个因素，反映了社会问题、医疗问题、多种药物滥用和以前的治疗。依赖性因素与最近使用麻醉品（过去60天）最密切相关，与年龄，性别或社会地位无关。
Summary
Recent developments in international classifications of alcohol and drug-related problems have stressed the distinction between a dependence syndrome and various drug-related disabilities. Although considerable research has supported the concept of an alcohol dependence syndrome, little empirical work has been conducted to date with other psychoactive substances. The present study evaluated whether a dependence syndrome could be identified among a clinical sample of 105 narcotic users who had completed the drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST). A factor analysis of the 20 DAST items revealed a dependence factor characterized by an inability to slop drug use, problems in getting through the week without drugs, and withdrawal symptoms when drug use stopped. In addition, four other factors were identified reflecting social problems, medical problems, polydrug abuse and previous treatment. The dependence factor was most strongly correlated with recent use (past 60 days) of narcotics, and was not correlated with age, sex or social status.
