Abstract

Total scores on the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) showed no significant difference between 123 men and 80 women entering an inpatient general hospital alcoholism program. The men scored significantly higher than the women on 7 of 24 items; 97% of the men and 92% of the women scored over 10 on the MAST. Differences on many of the MAST items were logical and predictable for the sex. The differences do not appear to merit a woman''s version of the MAST, but do suggest that an alternate question for women on some items might be worthwhile.
