Differences in Sub-Scores of the Korean Version of the Alcohol Use Identification Test (AUDIT-K) and Readiness to Change Questionnaire (RCQ) According to Hazardous Drinking and Subjective Perception of Alcohol Problem

Objective ： This study was conducted to evaluate the differences in sub-scores for the AUDIT-K and Readiness to Change Questionnaires (RCQ) relative to hazardous drinking and subjective perceptions of alcohol problems. Methods ： A total of 162 male participants were recruited and responded to the questionnaire. Subsequently, respondents were classified in the following groups depending on the presence of hazardous drinking and subjective perception of alcohol problems. HP group : Hazardous drinkers with subjective perception of alcohol problems. HD group : Hazardous drinkers with subjective denial of alcohol problems. NP group : Non-hazardous drinkers with subjective perception of alcohol problems.ND group : Non-hazardous drinkers with subjective denial of alcohol problems. Results ： In the HP group (the highest AUDIT-K score), high consumption and dependence sub-scores and RCQ scores were observed. In the HD group (the second highest AUDIT-K scores), high consumption and dependence sub-scores were observed, but the RCQ score was low. In the NP group, AUDIT-K, consumption and dependence sub-scores were low but the highest harmful alcohol use sub-score and second highest RCQ score was observed. In the ND group, the lowest scores were observed for all mea-sures. Conclusion : Our findings suggest that there are differences in AUDIT-K and RCQ sub-scores associated with hazardous drinking and subjective perception of alcohol problems.
