    The clinical Alcoholism Interview Schedule (CAIS) shows good reliability for assessing alcoholism. Further refinement is needed for specific items like the Jellinek classification.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Alcoholism assessment requires standardized tools for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Existing methods may lack consistent application, impacting research and clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate the clinical Alcoholism Interview Schedule (CAIS) as a reliable assessment instrument.
    • To assess the inter-rater reliability of the CAIS for use in clinical and research settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 50-question interview schedule with administration guidelines.
    • An inter-rater reliability study involving five raters and ten taped patient interviews.
    • Assessment of agreement using percentage agreement and weighted Kappa statistics.

    Main Results:

    • The CAIS demonstrated generally satisfactory inter-rater reliability across most items.
    • Specific items, including the Jellinek classification of alcoholism type, showed lower reliability.
    • Detailed results indicate areas for potential improvement in the interview schedule.

    Conclusions:

    • The CAIS is a promising standardized tool for alcoholism assessment.
    • Further refinement of specific items is recommended to enhance overall reliability.
    • The CAIS has potential as both a clinical and research instrument for alcoholism.
