The revised Drug Use Screening Inventory (DUSI-R) is a self-report questionnaire designed to quantify the severity of problems that are commonly associated with consumption of alcohol and other drugs. This study extends research conducted on the US population to determine whether the DUSI-R's substance abuse scale discriminates Brazilian youths in treatment (n = 41) from a general population sample (n = 43). A Portuguese translation of the substance abuse scale was administered in paper and pencil format at the time of intake into treatment and to randomly selected youths in school. The mean score on the 15-item substance abuse scale in the treatment group was 6.7 compared to 1.9 in the comparison group (t = 6.78; p < .001). The optimal cut-off score of two positive endorsements has 85% sensitivity and 70% specificity. This study demonstrates that the DUSI-R's substance abuse scale is valid for screening Brazilian youths who require treatment.
修订后的药物使用筛查清单 (DUSI-R) 是一种自我报告问卷，旨在量化与酒精和其他药物使用相关的常见问题的严重程度。本研究将在美国人群中进行的研究扩展到确定 DUSI-R 的物质滥用量表是否能区分接受治疗的巴西青少年（n = 41）和一般人群样本（n = 43）。物质滥用量表的葡萄牙语翻译以纸笔形式在治疗开始时和随机选择的在校青少年中进行。治疗组的 15 项物质滥用量表的平均得分为 6.7，而对照组的平均得分为 1.9（t = 6.78；p <.001）。两个阳性答案的最佳截断分数具有 85%的敏感性和 70%的特异性。这项研究表明，DUSI-R 的物质滥用量表可用于筛查需要治疗的巴西青少年。
