Choosing a cut-off on the Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS) for amphetamine users
Abstract
In order to ascertain a cut-off score on the Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS) which is indicative of clinically significant amphetamine dependence, 327 regular amphetamine users were administered the SDS, along with the "Disorders resulting from the use of psychoactive substances" section of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) for DSM-III-R. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used in order to determine which cut-off score on the SDS allowed the best trade-off between sensitivity and specificity, when calibrated against the presence or absence of a DSM-III-R diagnosis of severe amphetamine dependence. Results suggest that the SDS has high diagnostic utility, and that a score of greater than four on the scale is indicative of problematic amphetamine use.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
