European Addiction Severity Index

AbstractThis study explored the characteristics of a representative sample of patients who were addicted to either alcohol or cocaine, comparing the profiles of both types of drug users. A sample of 234 addicted patients (109 alcoholics and 125 cocaine addicts) who sought outpatient treatment in a Spanish clinical centre was assessed. Data on socio-demographic, consumption, psychopathological and maladjustment characteristics were collected using the European Addiction Severity Index (EuropASI), the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-II). Demographically, differences were observed with regard to age (alcoholics were older than cocaine addicts; t = 12.2, p = .001), employment (the alcoholic group had more labor problems; χ2= 6.2, p = .045) and family consequences (worse in alcoholics; t = 2.3, p = .025). The EuropASI results showed statistically significant differences in addiction severity, with alcoholics showing a greater severity than cocaine addicts. In terms of psychopathology, alcoholics presented more associated symptomatology than cocaine addicts. According to these results, patients with alcohol dependence have a different profile from patients with cocaine dependence, resulting in different repercussions for important areas of their lives. These differences should be taken into account when standard treatments for addiction are implemented.

European Addiction Severity Index

Der European Addiction Severity Index (EuropASI) ist ein semi-strukturiertes Interview, welches Daten von Personen mit Suchtproblemen in sieben voneinander unabhängigen Problembereichen erfasst: körperlicher Zustand, Arbeits- und Unterhaltssituation, Alkoholgebrauch, Drogengebrauch, rechtliche Situation, Familie und Sozialbeziehungen sowie psychischer Status. Mit den Interviewer Schweregrad-Ratings und den Composite Scores stellt der EuropASI zwei verschiedene zusammenfassende Maße über Störungen in den einzelnen Lebensbereichen zur Verfügung. Es werden die psychometrischen Eigenschaften des EuropASI bei Klienten einer ambulanten medizinischen Rehabilitation unter Methadon-Substitution überprüft. Außerdem werden Veränderungsprozesse während der Behandlung mit Hilfe der Composite Scores untersucht. Bei der Untersuchung der internen Konsistenz der Composite Scores zeigen sich befriedigende Cronbach’s Alpha-Werte. Die Interkorrelationen zwischen Interviewer-Schweregrad-Ratings und Composite Scores weisen auf eine gute Übereinstimmung der beiden zusammenfassenden Maße hin. Hinsichtlich der inhaltlichen Validität der Composite Scores werden Bedenken geäußert und Alternativvorschläge gemacht. Bei den Klienten der ambulanten medizinischen Rehabilitation zeigen sich beim Drogengebrauch und bei der rechtlichen Situation positive Veränderungen.
