Using the Munich Alcoholism Test, this study examined the prevalence and interrelationships of medical and sociobehavioral disorders in a nonhospitalized sample of 106 males who had been referred to a medical officer for "suspected" problems related to drinking. A further objective was to evaluate measurement properties of the Munich Alcoholism Test (MALT), a new diagnostic instrument for alcoholism. Self-report items focusing on the recognition of drinking problems formed a homogeneous and quite reliable scale. However, clinical signs and symptoms of disorders related to alcohol abuse occurred with relative independence of each other. In this predominantly young group of subjects, many individuals recognized that they had sociobehavioral problems, but few had clinical or laboratory manifestations of diseases associated with chronic alcohol abuse. These findings underscored the advantages of including both biomedical and sociobehavioral data for the early identification of alcohol abuse and dependence.
本研究使用慕尼黑酒精中毒测试，对106名因“疑似”饮酒相关问题而被转介给医务人员的非住院男性样本中的医学和社会行为障碍的患病率及相互关系进行了调查。另一个目标是评估慕尼黑酒精中毒测试（MALT）这一新型酒精中毒诊断工具的测量特性。聚焦于饮酒问题识别的自我报告项目构成了一个同质且相当可靠的量表。然而，与酒精滥用相关的疾病的临床体征和症状彼此相对独立出现。在这个以年轻人为主的受试群体中，许多人认识到自己存在社会行为问题，但很少有人有与慢性酒精滥用相关疾病的临床或实验室表现。这些发现凸显了纳入生物医学和社会行为数据以早期识别酒精滥用和依赖的优势。
