dc.description.abstract

<jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>Standardized alcohol craving scales are rarely used outside of research environments despite recognized clinical utility. Scale length is a key barrier to more widespread application. A brief measure of alcohol craving is needed to improve research and treatment of alcohol use disorders (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AUD</jats:styled-content>s). Grounded in the Elaborated Intrusion Theory of Desire, the Alcohol Craving Experience (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ACE</jats:styled-content>) Questionnaire comprises two 11‐item self‐report scales that assess past‐week frequency and maximum strength of alcohol craving. This study aimed to create a brief version of the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ACE</jats:styled-content> while maintaining psychometric integrity and clinical utility.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Patients attending a university hospital alcohol and drug outpatient service for the treatment of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AUD</jats:styled-content> completed the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ACE</jats:styled-content> as part of a questionnaire battery. Three patient samples were utilized: 519 patients with pretreatment and outcome data, 228 patients with pretreatment data, and 66 patients who completed the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ACE</jats:styled-content> at treatment sessions 1 and 2.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The Frequency scale of the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ACE</jats:styled-content> possessed greater clinical utility and predictive validity than the Strength scale. Revision of the Frequency measure produced a 5‐item “Mini Alcohol Craving Experience” (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MACE</jats:styled-content>) Questionnaire. Satisfactory validity (construct, predictive, concurrent, convergent, and incremental) and reliability (internal and test–retest) were maintained. A 1 standard deviation increase in pretreatment <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MACE</jats:styled-content> score was associated with a 54 percentage increase in the odds of patient lapse or dropout.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>The <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">MACE</jats:styled-content> provides a brief, theoretically, and psychometrically robust measure of alcohol craving suitable for use with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AUD</jats:styled-content> populations in time‐limited clinical and research settings.</jats:p></jats:sec>
