  • Title: The Chemical Use, Abuse, and Dependence Scale (CUAD). Rationale, reliability, and validity.
    Author: McGovern MP, Morrison DH.
    Journal: J Subst Abuse Treat; 1992; 9(1):27-38. PubMed ID: 1317464.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the rationale for the development of the Chemical Use, Abuse, and Dependence Scale (CUAD). The instrument is in a semistructured interview format; it derives both substance use severity scores and DSM-III-R substance use disorder diagnoses and can be administered in a short period with minimal training. The reliability and validity of the CUAD are reported and appear satisfactory. The CUAD is recommended for use as a detection, diagnostic, and treatment selection index in clinical, research, and program evaluation contexts.
