Development of a screening questionnaire for tobacco/nicotine dependence according to Icd-10, Dsm-III-r, And Dsm-IV
Section snippets
Sample 1
We recruited 61 male Japanese smokers as volunteer subjects for the study from medical students, university personnel, and their relatives. Four trained medical students contacted and asked these subjects to complete the TDS and the FTQ. They also conducted an interview using the tobacco use section of WHO-CIDI. Fifty-eight subjects (95%) completed both the interview and the questionnaires. Mean values (SDs) of age, number of cigarettes smoked per day, and years of smoking were 27.6 (11.1),
Mean scores and internal reliability
Nine of 10 TDS symptoms, except for an unsuccessful effort to quit smoking, were more prevalent in male smoking volunteers and male and female participants in an outpatient smoking cessation program than in male HRA participants (Table 1); a successful effort to quit smoking was more prevalent in male HRA participants. The TDS scores were almost normally distributed in all samples. The mean TDS scores were higher in male smoking volunteers and male and female participants in an outpatient
Discussion
Our study showed the internal reliability and construct and predictive validity for a newly developed questionnaire of tobacco/nicotine dependence according to the ICD-10. The TDS showed acceptable levels of internal reliability in all samples, with Cronbach’s alpha ranging from .76 to .81. On the other hand, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the FTQ were low or moderate, which are within a range reported by previous studies Fagerstrom & Schneider 1989, C. S. Pomerleau et al. 1994.

2019, Respiratory InvestigationCitation Excerpt :Our smoking cessation program has been previously described [4]. Briefly, to be eligible for the program, patients are required to be interested in immediately quitting smoking, to have had a diagnosis of nicotine dependence according to the Tobacco Dependence Screener (TDS) test [5] (5 points or more), and to have a Brinkman index [6] ≥200 at age ≥35 years. In the present study, detailed smoking history, medical history, comorbidities, current respiratory symptoms, and TDS test results were collected, to be used as baseline data.

2019, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :The TDS has moderate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > 0.74). Its construct validity in the Japanese population was established by its ability to detect the diagnostic status, diagnosis severity, carbon monoxide levels, number of cigarettes smoked per day, and years of smoking (Kawakami et al., 1999). The Level 1 CCSM is a 23-item assessment of 13 domains of symptoms common to various mental disorders (Narrow et al., 2013).
