Table 3 presents the criteria, and sample items that could be used to assess them, in a new DSM-5. Two of the sample items are fairly directly adapted from the FTND, while examples of other items are derived from questionnaires that have successfully predicted dependence outcomes (the NDSS and WISDM and Brief WISDM: [53]. These items are intended as examples; obviously the optimal form of a DSM-5 criterion, and any implementation into items and their response and scoring properties, would have to be determined via further research.
