The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) has been validated on a wide range of American drinkers. In this study the MAST was administered to four groups of New Zealand males: 100 hospitalized alcoholics, 100 psychiatric inpatients, 70 convicted drinking drivers, and 55 social drinkers. All the diagnosed alcoholics scored in the test's alcoholic range, as did 83% of the drinking drivers. Seventy-six percent of psychiatric patients and 89% of social drinkers scored below 5. The MAST appears to be a valid instrument for use under New Zealand conditions, but the ability to discriminate between alcoholics and problem drinkers would be an added advantage.
密歇根酒精中毒筛查测试（MAST）已在美国各类饮酒者中得到验证。在本研究中，MAST被应用于四组新西兰男性：100名住院酗酒者、100名精神科住院患者、70名因饮酒被定罪的司机以及55名社交饮酒者。所有确诊的酗酒者在测试中的得分都处于酗酒范围，83%的饮酒司机也是如此。76%的精神科患者和89%的社交饮酒者得分低于5分。MAST似乎是一种在新西兰条件下有效的工具，但能够区分酗酒者和问题饮酒者将是一个额外的优势。
