Abstract

|
|
Objectives ： Low level of response (LR) to alcohol is a risk factor for alcohol-use disorder (AUD). Self-Rating of Effects (SRE) scores are robust predictors of the quantity and frequency of alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and the development of alcohol dependence. This pilot study is the first to attempt to develop and validate a Korean version of SRE.
Methods ： Fifty Korean medical students (22 females and 28 males) aged 18+ years were recruited. The Korean SRE was established and validated. The SRE questionnaire comprises four possible effects and three different timeframes. Demographics, first-time alcohol-use history, Korean version of the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT-KR) and gender differences were also studied.
Results ： The Korean SRE was in accord with earlier reports, the overall SRE scores correlated with the three individual time points and internally consistent. Fifty-five percent of the study subjects scored ≥4.5 (69% male vs 31% females), suggestive of low LR to alcohol and thus at risk of developing AUD. Males are more at risk. For 60% and 68% met cut-off for AUDIT-KR scores of ≥10 for males and ≥5 for females respectively. SRE correlated with AUDIT scores.
Conclusion ： The Korean SRE is valid and matched other reports. It can be implemented in large-scale nation-wide studies throughout Korea.
