Text

The Alcohol Use Disorders and Associated Disabilities Schedule (AUDADIS-IV)(23) was used to collect interview data, in person, from all individuals. The reliability and validity of assessments from the AUDADIS-IV are good and have been discussed in detail elsewhere (23;24). At Wave 2, data were collected for individual DSM-IV criteria for AUDs and also for craving, which is a proposed addition to the DSM-5 diagnosis of AUDs. While subjects were queried about experiences since the last interview (i.e. the three year follow-up period), past 12 months reports were also available. To allow for generalizability with other published estimates, we focus here on past 12 month reports.
