Bestimmung der konkurrenten Validität des CRAFFT-d

Ein Screeninginstrument für problematischen Alkoholkonsum bei Jugendlichen

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1024/1422-4917.37.5.451

Fragestellung: Überprüft wurde, wie gut der CRAFFT-d problematischen Alkoholkonsum bei Jugendlichen identifizieren kann. Methodik: Die Kriteriumsvalidität des CRAFFT-d wurde anhand eines zweiten Tests erfasst. Parallel zum CRAFFT-d wurde der Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) verwendet. Es wurde überprüft, in wie weit die erzielten Urteile übereinstimmen. Die Instrumente wurden im Rahmen der Webseite www.drugcom.de («check your drinking») eingesetzt. Ergebnisse: Von den 12250 befragten Jugendlichen wiesen 54.2 % nach dem AUDIT und 63.6 % nach dem CRAFFT-d einen problematischen Alkoholkonsum auf. Die Testergebnisse zeigen eine hohe Übereinstimmung (Phi φ = .57; χ² 3978.671**, df = 1, p > .001). Bei einem Cut-off-Wert von 2 Punkten erzielte der CRAFFT-d eine Sensitivität von 88.8 % und eine Spezifität von 66.2 %. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung legen nahe, dass der CRAFFT-d ein geeignetes Instrument zur Früherkennung von problematischem Alkoholkonsum bei Jugendlichen sein kann. Eine weitere Validierung anhand diagnostischer Kriterien ist jedoch nötig.


Determination of the concurrent validity of the CRAFT-d – a screening instrument for problematic alcohol consumption

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of the CRAFFT-d alcohol abuse screening test for adolescents. Method: This criterion-related validity study compared the decisions of the CRAFFT-d with the decisions of the concurrently administered Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Data was obtained from an online questionnaire including CRAFFT-d and AUDIT. Results: Of the 12250 participants, 54.2 % were found to have an alcohol use disorder due to the AUDIT. CRAFFT-d identifies 63.6 % with problematic alcohol consumption. The Phi-coefficient showed high agreement between AUDIT and CRAFFT-d classifications (Phi Φ = .57; χ² 3978.671**; df = 1, p > .001). At a score of 2 or higher, CRAFFT showed sensitivity of 88.8 % and specificity of 66.2 %. Conclusion: The CRAFFT-d is a valid instrument for screening adolescents for problematic alcohol consumption. However, further comparison of CRAFFT items with diagnostic criteria for adolescents is needed.
