The psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Adolescent Drug Abuse Diagnosis (ADAD) instrument were evaluated in two adolescent groups. The participants in the Normal group comprised 121 adolescents aged 15-17 years and the participants in the group of adolescents with antisocial problems comprised 1168 youths aged 10-21 years detained under the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act in special youth homes. The ADAD instrument produced good interrater reliability; the subscales showed moderate internal consistency and concept validity was satisfactory and comparable with American and Swiss versions. Finally, the ADAD subscales produced meaningful correlations. The interviewer rating, the adolescent's rating and the composite scores are compared and discussed. The Swedish version of ADAD appears to be a psychometrically good instrument for assessing the severity of adolescent problems and their need for treatment. However, the composite scores need to be reconstructed to be useful in future research.
在两组青少年中对瑞典版青少年药物滥用诊断（ADAD）工具的心理测量特性进行了评估。正常组的参与者包括121名15 - 17岁的青少年，有反社会问题的青少年组的参与者包括1168名10 - 21岁根据瑞典《青少年照护法》被拘留在特殊青少年之家的青年。ADAD工具产生了良好的评分者间信度；分量表显示出中等程度的内部一致性，概念效度令人满意且与美国版和瑞士版相当。最后，ADAD分量表产生了有意义的相关性。对访谈者评分、青少年评分和综合得分进行了比较和讨论。瑞典版ADAD似乎是一种在心理测量方面很好的工具，用于评估青少年问题的严重程度及其治疗需求。然而，综合得分需要重新构建以便在未来研究中有用。
