Reliability of the Romanian version of the alcohol module of the WHO Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities: Interview Schedule --Alcohol/Drug-Revised.
Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule - Alcohol/Drug-Revised (AUDADIS-A/D-R) is a fully structured, standardized and precoded instrument designed to evaluate alcohol and drug use disorders according to DSM-III-R, DSM-IV, and ICD-10 criteria. The AUDADIS-A/D-R has shown good to excellent reliability in both large clinical and general population samples, but prior to the conduct of the present study no data on the reliability of the Romanian version of the AUDADIS-A/D-R existed. The purpose of the present study was to examine the test-retest reliability of the alcohol module of the AUDADIS-A/D-R in a general population and clinical sample in Romania. The overall reliability of ICD-10 and DSM-IV abuse, harmful and dependence diagnoses, was found to be good to excellent, but was somewhat lower for abuse and harmful use diagnoses. The results are discussed in terms of the cultural applicability of the symptom items and within the context of the analysis of discrepant responses between the test and retest interviews.
