“…Inhalant use is most prevalent in young adolescents (Johnston et al, 2006) and decreases significantly more after early adulthood (Wu and Ringwalt, 2006). Recent studies have demonstrated that DSM-IV substance use-related criteria function differently in adolescents than in adults Fulkerson et al, 1999;Muthen et al, 1993;Ridenour et al, 2002). Hence, research to estimate reliabilities of inhalant-related nomenclature optimally would involve inhalant use during adolescence.…”

“…It also is the first to estimate reliabilities of DSM-IV inhalants nomenclature in adolescents. Given the discrepancies between abusers of inhalants and abusers of other drugs, it is possible that the SAM's good to excellent reliabilities of diagnoses associated with other drugs does not generalize to inhalant use-related diagnoses (Compton et al, 1996b;Cottler et al, 1989;Horton et al, 2000;Ridenour et al, 2002). Moreover, much less psychometric research has been conducted related to inhalant use compared to use of other drugs.…”

Inhalants, as a class of drugs, consists of heterogeneous substances that increase the probability of many serious illnesses and death. Research on inhalant abuse has lagged behind other drugs partly because of the need for a diagnostic instrument of different types of inhalants. This study was conducted to obtain reliability estimates for the new Substance Abuse Module DSM-IV inhalants diagnoses for four types of inhalants: aerosols, gases, nitrites, and solvents as well as different diagnostic configurations of inhalant-related criteria. Participants were 162 community sample adolescents or young adults (mean age=20.3 years, S.D.=2.4). Two-thirds of the sample was male and 83.3% was Caucasian. Kappas and intraclass correlation coefficients were computed to estimate test-retest reliabilities. Results suggested (a) abuse was more common than dependence (34.6% versus 12.3%), (b) reliabilities of abuse criteria and diagnosis were good to excellent across subtypes, and (c) reliabilities of dependence criteria and diagnoses were poor to good across subtypes. Alternative configurations of DSM-IV criteria that were consistent with previous research on adolescents provided excellent reliabilities across subtypes of inhalants. Moreover, 11.1% of participants experienced inhalants withdrawal.

“…Diagnosis variables were derived using SAM computer algorithms. SAM provides excellent reliabilities for DSM-IV SUD criteria, good to excellent reliabilities for DSM-IV dependence diagnosis, and fair to excellent reliabilities for ICD-10 dependence diagnoses, including SUD-I, and has been used in numerous SUD nosology studies (Compton, Cottler, Dorsey, Spitznagel, & Mager, 1996a, 1996b; Cottler et al, 1989; Horton et al, 2000; Langenbucher et al, 2000; Ridenour, Bray, Scott & Cottler, 2008; Ridenour et al, 2007). SAM is the only structured assessment of separate SUD-Is consequent to using aerosols, gases, nitrites, and solvents.…”

Among drug classes, substance use disorder (SUD) consequent to using inhalants (SUD-I) has perhaps the smallest evidence base. This study compared SUD-IV vs. SUD-5 nomenclatures, testing whether four traditional categories of inhalants (aerosols, gases, nitrites, solvents) are manifestations of a single pathology, obtaining item parameters of SUD-I criteria, and presenting evidence that SUD can result from using nitrites. An urban, Midwestern, community sample of 162 inhalant users was recruited. Participants were 2/3 male, nearly 85% Caucasian, and had a mean age of 20.3 years (SD=2.4 years), spanning the ages of greatest incidence of SUD and slightly older than the primary ages of inhalants use initiation. Analyses consisted of bivariate associations, principle components analysis, and item response theory analysis. Validity was demonstrated for SUD-I consequent to each inhalant type as well as for aggregating all inhalant types into a single drug class. Results supported DSM-5 nomenclature over DSM-IV in multiple ways except that occurrence of diagnostic orphans was not statistically smaller using DSM-5.
