The Children of Alcoholics Screening Test (CAST) had acceptably high internal consistency (.88 and .90) and test-retest reliabilities (.88) when administered to adolescents from intact alcoholic families. CAST scores were unrelated to measures of adolescent adjustment or indices that reflect general family environment. However, CAST scores did correlate positively with a measure of the more specific family environment related to alcohol abuse. The study suggested that CAST scores are best suited for screening respondents and not as a dependent variable because the relationships that one is likely to identify between CAST scores and any other variable would be primarily reflective of group differences between offspring of alcoholics and nonalcoholics.
对来自完整酗酒家庭的青少年进行酒精成瘾者子女筛查测试（CAST）时，其内部一致性（分别为0.88和0.90）和重测信度（0.88）较高，令人满意。CAST得分与青少年适应能力的测量指标或反映家庭总体环境的指标无关。然而，CAST得分与反映与酒精滥用相关的更具体家庭环境的一项测量指标呈正相关。该研究表明，CAST得分最适合用于筛查受访者，而不适合作为因变量，因为人们可能在CAST得分与任何其他变量之间发现的关系，主要反映的是酗酒者和非酗酒者后代之间的群体差异。
