The Trail Making test (TMT) is a brief paper and pencil neuropsychological test often used for screening for cognitive impairment. The value of the TMT is examined in a sample of 5619 males and 2902 females was drawn from electronic files of data from the Drug Abuse Treatment outcome Study (DATOS), a naturalistic, prospective cohort study that collected data from 1991-1993 in 96 programs in 11 cities in the United States. Data were analyzed to determine the effects of specific drugs of abuse on parts A and B of the TMT in this large sample of patients in drug abuse treatment programs. Most subjects, regardless of type of drug abused, on TMT parts A and B appeared to fall within normal limits relative to commonly accepted cutoff scores. These results suggest that the TMT parts A and B would have great value as screening measures for cognitive impairment in a drug abuse treatment population.
连线测验（TMT）是一种简短的纸笔神经心理学测试，常用于筛查认知障碍。在从药物滥用治疗结果研究（DATOS）的电子数据文件中抽取的5619名男性和2902名女性样本中，对TMT的价值进行了检验。DATOS是一项自然主义的前瞻性队列研究，于1991年至1993年在美国11个城市的96个项目中收集数据。对数据进行分析，以确定特定滥用药物对该大型药物滥用治疗项目患者样本中TMT A部分和B部分的影响。大多数受试者，无论滥用药物的类型如何，在TMT A部分和B部分相对于普遍接受的临界分数似乎都在正常范围内。这些结果表明，TMT A部分和B部分作为药物滥用治疗人群认知障碍的筛查措施具有很大价值。
