Objectives：This study was performed to evaluate the reliability and Validity of Korean version of Alcohol Use Inventory
for the comprehensive assessment of alcohol dependence.
Subjects and Methods：Subjects served for the study were 119 Korean alcoholic patients from 3 mental hospitals and 2
general hospitals. Their alcohol history and demographic data were taken and they were asked to fill up questionnaires of
Korean version of Alcohol Use Inventory, MAST, ADS, MMPI and SCL-90-R.
Results：In summary, the results of this study were as follows：1) Among the scales, the means of MENT ALIM, GREGARUS, HELPBEFR and ENHANCED scales were relatively high. On the other hand the means of GRE GARUS, AWARENES and RECPAWAR scales were relatively low. 2) In the internal consistency analysis, all the AUI scales except QUANTITY showed significant reliability. 3) In the correlation analysis for the test of concurrent validity, the scales associated with ‘motivation of drinking’ and ‘concerns about drinking’ were significantly correlated with the MAST and the ADS. 4) In the correlation with the MMPI and the SCL-90-R, most scales of AUI were significantly correlated with the psychopathology of the subjects. 5) Familial alcoholics were scored significantly higher than non-familial alcoholics in the the means of LCONTROL, ROLEMALA, DELIRIUM, GU ILTWOR, HELPBEFR, DISRUPT1, ANXCONCN and
ALC INVOL scales.
Conclusions：The results suggest that Korean version of Alcohol Use Inventory showed reasonable reliability and validity, therefore it may be effectively used in the assessment and treatment planning of alcoholic patients.
