Grant et al. (2004) also noted that the NESARC version included two new questions relevant to the dependence criteria set: one to measure the “tolerance” criterion, and one to measure “continued to drink despite persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problems caused or exacerbated by drinking.” The measurement of the abuse criteria set included one additional question to operationalize the “hazardous drinking” criterion. As described below, it appears that other differences between the interviews also appeared that were not clearly documented in the original reports.
