Hi all, I have a question about the "SSAGA_Alc_D4_Dp_Dx" measure in the restricted data set. The data dictionary only says "Participant meets DSM4 criteria for DSM4 Alcohol Dependence", but I'm still wondering about two things:
1. It seems participants are scored as either "1" or "5". I'm assuming "5" means they do meet the criteria for dependence, and "1" means they do not, is this correct? 2. If true, the characteristics of this group of subjects look somewhat odd. More than a handful report having had 0 drinks in the last 7 days (from the "Total_Drinks_7days" measure). It seems unlikely that someone would not have drank anything recently but still meet the DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence. What could be the explanation for this? Missing data? Or does the SSAGA_Alc_D4_Dp_Dx include current or PAST history of dependence? Thanks, Pete _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users
