Concordance between DSM-III-R and DSM-IV diagnoses of substance use disorders in adolescents
2001
Abstract Except for cannabis and alcohol, concordance between DSM-III-R and DSM-IV substance use disorder diagnoses has not been reported in adolescents. We assessed a clinical sample of 102 adolescents using CIDI-SAM. Prevalence of either an abuse or dependence diagnosis was lower with DSM-IV than DSM-III-R except for cannabis and alcohol, and concordance rates were better for dependence than for abuse. For most substances, rates of DSM-IV withdrawal were lower than in DSM-III-R, but rates of DSM-IV physiological dependence remained high. Changes in DSM-IV criteria appear to have impacted diagnoses in these adolescents, particularly for the substances they use most — i.e. alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis.
