Abstract
There is a need for a short instrument to assess the multiple areas of dysfunction as well as drinking dyscontrol in alcoholics. The Brief Addiction Rating Scale (BARS), covering 10 areas of functioning has been developed to meet this need. This report describes the rationale and development of this new scale. A high interrater reliability (0.9) on all the items of the scale and the ease of administration justify its clinical and research use.
