“…Thus, the total score ranges from 0 to 44, with higher scores suggestive of a more severe drug problem. The DUDIT was validated in Turkish adolescent and adult patients with drug use disorder [5] and in a high-risk population of prisoners [6]. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.88 for the present study.…”

“…Thirdly, the DUDIT is suitable for use in public health surveys of drug use [2]. The DUDIT was found to be a reliable and valid drug abuse screening instrument that measures a unidimensional construct in Turkish adolescent and adult patients with drug use disorder [5] and in a high-risk population of prisoners [6].…”

Objective: Motivation is a widely used concept in substance use treatment, which is related to the change during treatment. The Drug Use Disorders Identification Test-Extended (DUDIT-E) is one of the instruments to measure motivation. Among clients who have been screened already for drug-related problems, DUDIT-E maps the frequency of illicit drug use (D), the positive (P) and negative (N) aspects of drug use, and treatment readiness (T). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish DUDIT-E in adult male patients with substance use disorder (SUD) in Turkey. Methods: We examined the psychometric characteristics of this instrument in a population of outpatients with SUD and who are under probation (n = 196). The participants were administered the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT), the DUDIT-E, and the Addiction Profile Index (API). Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.96 for P score, 0.95 for N score, and 0.85 for T score. Principal component analysis supported construct validity for P, N, and T scores. The DUDIT-E subscales were mild to moderately correlated with the DUDIT and the API. Conclusions: The findings showed that the Turkish version of the DUDIT-E, when used together with the DUDIT, could effectively identify substance use problems in outpatients with SUD who are under probation.

“…The Turkish version of the DUDIT had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93 and a single component accounted for 58.65% of total variance. Additionally, the Turkish version showed good discriminant validity as it significantly differentiated patients with drug use disorder from alcohol dependents (21).…”

Psychometric properties of the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10) in heroin dependent adults and adolescents with drug use disorderObjective: The psychometric properties of the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10), developed to screen individuals for drug problems, are evaluated in Turkish patients with drug use disorder.Method: Participants included 100 adolescents with drug use disorder in a substance abuse treatment program for adolescents, 123 heroin dependent adults in a residential substance abuse treatment program, and 35 alcohol dependents from the same clinic who did not report a drug abuse problem.Results: The DAST-10 was found to be a psychometrically sound drug abuse screening measure with high convergent validity (r=0.76) when correlation with the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) was measured and to have a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92. In addition, a single component accounted for 59.35% of total variance, and the DAST-10 had sensitivity and specificity scores of 0.98 and 0.91, respectively, when using the optimal cut-off score of 4. Additionally, the DAST-10 showed good discriminant validity as it significantly differentiated patients with drug use disorder from alcohol dependents. Sonuç: Bu bulgular, DAST-10'un madde kullanım bozukluğu olan Türk hastalarda tek boyutlu yapıda ölçüm yapan geçerli ve güvenilir bir madde kötüye kullanımı tarama ölçeği olduğunu desteklemektedir. Ek klinik popülasyonlarda ve cezaevi ortamlarındaki gibi yüksek riskli popülasyonlarda daha ileri çalışmaların yapılması gerekmektedir.
