Abstract

This study examines the utility of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) for detecting psychoactive substance use disorders (PSUDs) among psychiatric inpatients. Four hundred thirty-five inpatients at two inner-city psychiatric hospitals completed the ASI and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis assessed the optimal threshold ASI alcohol and drug composite scores to detect DSM-III-R PSUDs. The correlations of both the ASI alcohol and drug composite scores with their corresponding DSM-III-R PSUD categories were significant (p<.0001). However, the ROC analysis revealed that the ASI misses approximately 20% of SCID-positive PSUD cases. Specificity of the ASI, on the other hand, is quite good (95% to 98%), and optimal ASI threshold scores to rule out a PSUD among these patients are identified. The results also support the sensitivity of these patients to the toxic effects of illicit substance use.
