Text

Figure 1 plots the AIF for the eleven existing DSM-IV criteria as well as the AIF for the existing DSM-IV criteria with craving included. The model with craving creates a more discriminating overall set of criteria (reflected in the increase peak of the curve) but reflects little change in the ability of the model to capture a greater or different range of severity of the underlying continuum of disorder.
