MacAndrew (1965) constructed the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale (MAC) using adult male alcoholic outpatients and male psychiatric outpatients. Later, he developed the Substance Abuse Proclivity Scale (SAP; MacAndrew, 1986), specifically for screening younger males, using adolescent and young adult substance misusing and nonmisusing males 16 to 22 years of age. Because clinicians frequently apply the MAC to adolescents, we compared the efficacy of the MAC and the SAP scales using a sample of 436 young males between the ages of 13 and 25, who were hospitalized because of substance abuse, and 770 normal young males between the ages of 13 and 25. Results suggest that clinicians should use these scales with great caution.
麦安德鲁(1965年)以成年男性酗酒门诊患者和男性精神科门诊患者为样本编制了麦安德鲁酒精中毒量表(MAC)。后来,他又编制了药物滥用倾向量表(SAP;麦安德鲁,1986年),专门用于筛查年龄较小的男性,样本为16至22岁有或没有药物滥用问题的青少年及青年男性。由于临床医生经常将MAC应用于青少年,我们以436名因药物滥用而住院的13至25岁年轻男性以及770名13至25岁的正常年轻男性为样本,比较了MAC量表和SAP量表的有效性。结果表明,临床医生在使用这些量表时应格外谨慎。
