Differences in the Prevalence and Profile of DSM-IV and DSM-5 Alcohol Use Disorders-Results from the Singapore Mental Health Study 2016.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for alcohol use disorders (AUD) was a significant shift from the historical DSM-IV Text Revised version. Following this shift in diagnostic criteria, a difference in the prevalence of AUD was expected. The current study aimed to evaluate the consequences of the modification of the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV to DSM-5 AUD using lifetime diagnosis in Singapore's multi-ethnic population using data from a nationwide epidemiological study.

Methods

Respondents were assessed for lifetime mental disorders using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) administered through face-to-face interviews. Lifetime DSM-IV AUD diagnoses were compared with DSM-5 AUD diagnoses
