The AUDADIS-IV assessed for alcohol consumption and DSM-IV AUDs including alcohol abuse and dependence (Grant et al. 2003). Test-retest reliabilities for past-year and lifetime measures ranged from ICC=0.47-0.84 for alcohol consumption, ICC=0.76-0.89 for individual AUD symptoms, and κ=0.70-0.74 for AUD diagnoses (Grant et al. 2003). Treatment for alcohol problems was assessed at Wave 1 and Wave 2 by asking, “Have you ever gone anywhere or seen anyone for a reason that was related in any way to your drinking” while listing various sources of professional and informal (i.e. 12-step) help. Perceived need for treatment was assessed at Wave 1 and Wave 2 by asking, “Was there ever a time when you thought you see [someone] for your drinking, but didn’t go?” Reliabilities for treatment-related measures have not been published.
