How does the AUI compare with the MAC scale on the MMPI®-2; instrument?
These two measures were constructed to assess different things. The AUI measures drinking styles of known drinkers, whereas the MAC scale measures addiction potential. Is the Alcohol Dependent Scale found in one of the scales on the AUI? Yes, Disrupt 1 (D1). Disrupt 1 measures psychophysical aspects as well as disruptions in the person’s work, family, and community relations. Does the AUI provide information on drug use? The AUI deals primarily with alcohol use. However, the AUI does give some indication of the subject’s reported use and perceptions of the following drugs: caffeine, nicotine, marijuana/hashish, tranquilizers, barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, and hallucinogens. Can the AUI be used for repeated measurement purposes? The AUI is not appropriate for pre- and post-treatment administration because of the historical nature of many of the assessment’s questions. However, the AUI can be used in an outcomes measurement program to establish a baseline of information.
