Objective: This study was performed to establish the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST).
Methods: This study included 342 adult male and female patients using alcohol or drug and controls. Through the assessment of the 50 patients who were recruited from alcohol consultation center, the evaluator was blind to the individual’s score each other and these data were used to evaluate interrater reliability. To evaluate the reliability and validity of Korean version ASSIST, we used a Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND), a alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT), a drug abuse screening test (DAST) and compared the results with the ASSIST.
Results: Korean version of ASSIST was calculated as valuable validity and reliability. That it, the construct validity of Korean version of ASSIST SSI score was as follows : smoking (0.81), alcohol (0.84), cannabinoids (0.75), cocaine (0.96), am-phetamine (0.95), inhalant (0.96), sedative (0.91), hallucinogen (0.63), opioids (0.60), others (0.39). Reliability and validity were shown in all drugs with statistical significance. The cut-off values for screening substances with ASSIST were as follows : in smoking, the cut-off value to divide low risk and moderate is 22.5 and the value to divide moderate risk to high risk is 25.5. In alcohol, the cut-off value to divide low risk and moderate is 21.5 and the value to divide moderate risk and high risk is 23.5. Other substances also show similar significance. The result of this study was similar to those of previous studies of other countries.
Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Korean version of ASSIST were shown in all drugs with statistical significance. The Korean version of ASSIST can be a useful tool for investigating problems associated with drug use in primary clinical environment and providing brief intervention.
