TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - The diagnostic value of BAC for identifying alcohol-related problems among DWI offenders: another look JO - American journal of drug and alcohol abuse encompassing all addictive disorders A1 - Lucker, G. W. A1 - Gold, J. D. SP - 573 EP - 580 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - The present study examines the association between breath alcohol concentration (BAC) at arrest and problem drinking for a sample of 1,283 male DWI offenders in the US Army. The results indicated a moderate but statistically significant association between BAC at arrest and DSM-III diagnosis. BAC's ability to indicate problem drinking was also compared with the diagnostic ability of three well-known, paper-and-pencil instruments designed for that purpose. BAC performed as well in identifying problems with alcohol as did the MAST, the MacAndrew Scale of the MMPI, and the Vaillant. LA - SN - 0095-2990 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
