“…Pre-study screenings were conducted using chart reviews, to verify a diagnosis of either schizophrenia and/or mood disorders. Additionally, as part of the baseline interview, potential subjects were screened using the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) (Zung & Charalampous, 1975) and the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) (Gavin, Ross, & Skinner, 1989). Paticipants had to score a five or higher on either the MAST or DAST to be enrolled.…”

For persons with co-occurring disorders, interaction with criminal justice systems is a frequent occurrence. As a result, a variety of diversionary programs have been developed nationwide. In this study, a total of 248 individuals with co-occurring disorders of serious mental illness and substance use disorders who had been arrested and booked on misdemeanor charges participated in a post-booking jail diversion program in two urban communities. A quasi-experimental design was used with individuals assigned to diversion or non-diversion status based upon the decision processes of the mental health-criminal justice systems. The effectiveness of the jail diversion program was evaluated from a variety of sources, including structured interviews, behavioral health service utilization patterns, and criminal justice recidivism patterns. Analyses revealed general main effects for time on many of the outcome variables, with few main effects or interaction effects detected on the basis of diversion status (diverted versus non-diverted). Across all measures assessing mental health and substance abuse, study participants displayed improvements over time, irrespective of their diversion status or program location. Participants generally displayed no significant changes in their rates of accessibility to, or frequency of use of, the various mental health, substance abuse, and other services, and few changes for diversion status were detected with regard to service utilization. Although a number of indicators of criminality and violence were reduced over time, these reductions were statistically insignificant, with changes for diversionary status or time identified at follow-up. These results are discussed in light of their implications for jail diversion programming and future research in this area.

“…A score of 6 or above on the measure indicates serious difficulties with alcohol use ("problem drinking"). The MAST has been found to have good reliability and concurrent validity (Zung and Charalampous, 1975;Zung, 1978). Additionally the MAST has internal consistency as evidenced by Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.83-0.93 (Gibbs, 1983).…”

Direct and indirect forms of non-suicidal self-injury: Evidence for a distinction

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) involves deliberate acts (such as cutting) that directly damage the body but occur without suicidal intent. However, other non-suicidal behaviors that involve people mistreating or abusing themselves but that do not deliberately and directly damage bodily tissue may have much in common with NSSI. Such 'indirect' methods of self-injury might include involvement in abusive relationships, substance abuse, risky or reckless behavior, or eating disordered behavior. Using a community sample (N=156) we compared individuals engaging in NSSI (n=50), indirect (non-suicidal) self-injurers (n=38), and healthy controls (n=68) on a range of clinical and personality characteristics. As predicted, non-suicidal selfinjurers and indirect self-injurers showed more pathology than healthy controls on all measures.Comparisons of the NSSI and the Indirect self-injury groups revealed no significant differences on measures of dissociation, aggression, impulsivity, self-esteem, negative temperament, depressive symptoms, and borderline personality disorder. However, compared to people who engaged only in indirect forms of self-injury, those who engaged in NSSI were more self-critical, had higher scores on a measure of suicide proneness, and had a history of more suicide attempts.The findings suggest that NSSI and indirect self-injury are best viewed as separate and distinct clinical phenomena.Key Words = DSM-5, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), deliberate self-harm, suicide, borderline personality disorder, self-criticism.NSSI and Indirect Self--Injury 3 3

“…There is some indication that the MAST itself, and measurably its offspring, the SMAST, is transportable to different cultural, ethnic, and national groups (Brady et al, 1982;Selzer, 1976;Zung & Charalampous, 1975). We did, however, take some liberties with the SMAST by having it translated specifically for this project.…”

“…Selzer, Vinokur and Van Rooijen (1975) developed a shortened version of the MAST, the SMAST. The SMAST correlates well with the MAST (coefficient of correlation 0.97, Zung & Charalampous, 1975). We further modified the SMAST, eliminating Question 9, because, at the point of the study, Alcoholics Anonymous was not generally available in Peru, leaving a total of 12 questions.…”
