In contrast, endorsement rates for the craving criterion were similar to those for the other criteria (excluding the legal criterion). The largest difference was for alcohol, where the rate of craving was 26% compared with an average rate of 43% for the other criteria, with 45% versus 50%, 29% versus 30%, and 18% versus 20% for cocaine, opioids, and cannabis, respectively. Nonetheless, inclusion of the craving criterion had very little impact on the likelihood of diagnostic switching between the two DSM versions.
