title: Identifying adolescents with alcohol problems. A field test of the Adolescent Alcohol Involvement Scale.
abstract: A modified version of the Adolescent Alcohol Involvement Scale (AAIS) was administered in a telephone survey and in a longitudinal study. Results indicated acceptable reliability and validity in the AAIS but scores may be unstable in the long run because of the transient nature of alcohol misuse among many adolescents.
