The Children of Alcoholics Screening Test (CAST), the Family Environment Scale (relationship scales only), and the Social Maladjustment Scale were administered to 494 male and female adolescents with a mean age of 16.6 years. High CAST scores were found to be related significantly to low family cohesion, high family conflict, and low overall family support. CAST scores were not related significantly to family expressiveness or to social maladjustment. Internal consistency reliability estimates for the CAST for both males and females were in the mid .90s. Finally, CAST scores of male and female adolescents were found to differ significantly, which indicates the need for separate validation studies to determine screening cut-points for the two groups.
对494名平均年龄为16.6岁的青少年(男女皆有)进行了酗酒者子女筛查测试(CAST)、家庭环境量表(仅关系量表)和社会适应不良量表测试。结果发现,CAST高分与低家庭凝聚力、高家庭冲突及低总体家庭支持显著相关。CAST分数与家庭表达性或社会适应不良无显著关联。男性和女性的CAST内部一致性信度估计值均在0.95左右。最后,发现男女青少年的CAST分数存在显著差异,这表明需要分别进行验证研究以确定两组的筛查切点。
