患有严重精神疾病的人经常有药物滥用和依赖问题，使他们面临更大的治疗效果不佳的风险。然而，在这一人群中，评估药物滥用和依赖的自我报告措施的可靠性和有效性仍然研究不足。本研究评估了两个版本的药物滥用筛查测试（DAST; H。Skinner，1982）作为门诊精神病样本的筛选工具。参与者是73名男性和24名女性，他们一直在一家公共精神病机构接受治疗。所有参与者都完成了DAST沿着其他物质使用和精神状态的测量。DAST在该样本中表现出足够的内部一致性和时间稳定性。因子分析支持多维尺度。我们评估了标准相关的，同时和判别证据的有效性，我们得出的结论是，两个测试版本的DAST有健全的心理测量属性时，用于精神科门诊病人。
Individuals with a severe mental illness frequently have substance abuse and dependence problems, placing them at increased risk for poor treatment outcome. However, the reliability and validity of self-report measures assessing substance abuse and dependence remains understudied in this population. This investigation evaluates 2 versions of the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST; H. Skinner, 1982) as screening tools for an outpatient psychiatric sample. Participants were 73 men and 24 women who had been receiving treatment at a public psychiatric facility All participants completed the DAST along with other measures of substance use and psychiatric status. The DAST demonstrated adequate internal consistency and temporal stability in this sample. Factor analysis supports a multidimensional scale. We evaluated criterion-related, concurrent and discriminant evidence for validity, and we have concluded that both tested versions of the DAST have sound psychometric properties when used with psychiatric outpatients.
