TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - The Mortimer-Filkins test of problem drinking: a review of psychometric properties JO - British journal of addiction A1 - Webb, G. R. SP - 1491 EP - 1494 VL - 85 IS - 11 N2 - This paper contains a literature review of the psychometric properties of the Mortimer-Filkins test of problem drinking. The test was devised initially to identify problem drinkers from among drink-driving offenders. It was initially validated against a general population, and has since been used with worksite populations. The test demonstrates high degrees of internal-consistency reliability, test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. It has been shown to be predictive of drink-driver racidivism and the occurrence of work injuries and injury-related absences. LA - SN - 0952-0481 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
