Spouse response to a self-administered alcoholism screening test.
A self-administered, expanded version of the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test was completed by a group of hospitalized alcoholics and by their spouses and counselors, describing the patients. The data obtained from spouse responses was accurate in 90% of the cases; the spouse may be a more reliable source of information about drinking problems than the alcoholic.
