The Children of Alcoholics Screening Test (CAST) was administered to a sample of young adolescents as sixth graders and again one year later. Psychometric properties of the full CAST and a shortened version (CAST-6) were examined, and three different rules for classifying COAs were analyzed. The CAST was found to demonstrate adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability. When examined as an entire group, the vast majority of respondents maintained the same classification (COA or NCOA) from the first to the second administration. For boys, however, CAST scores and the proportion who were self-identified as COAs declined significantly. Classification rates based on the full CAST and on the shortened version were similar. The use of two confirmatory items, "Ever think your father (mother) was an alcoholic?" however, substantially reduced the percentage of self-identified COAs. Finally, girls were dramatically more likely than boys to endorse items suggesting parental alcoholism, and they were also more likely to self-identify as COAs.
对一批青少年六年级学生样本进行了酒精成瘾者子女筛查测试（CAST），一年后再次进行测试。研究了完整的CAST和简化版（CAST - 6）的心理测量特性，并分析了三种不同的酒精成瘾者子女分类规则。结果发现CAST具有足够的内部一致性和重测信度。作为一个整体进行检查时，绝大多数受访者从第一次到第二次测试保持相同的分类（酒精成瘾者子女或非酒精成瘾者子女）。然而，对于男孩来说，CAST得分以及自我认定为酒精成瘾者子女的比例显著下降。基于完整的CAST和简化版的分类率相似。使用两个验证性项目“是否曾认为你的父亲（母亲）是酗酒者？”，然而，这大幅降低了自我认定为酒精成瘾者子女的比例。最后，女孩比男孩更有可能认可暗示父母酗酒的项目，并且她们也更有可能自我认定为酒精成瘾者子女。
