Abstract
AVI is a self-report inventory intended for standardized and differentiated assessment and diagnosis in alcoholism; it includes 75 items adapted from Horn and Wanberg's Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI) and an assessment of the alcohol intake during a typical week of heavy drinking. The drinking profile is presented in five second-order factor scales: 'alcohol abuse', 'psychological benefits', 'interpersonal complications', 'social drinking' and 'daily drinking' and in 17 first-order factor scales. The reliability and specificity of the scales are satisfactory. Preliminary norms based on a sample of more than 600 alcoholic patients are available. Using the original American scoring and norms the results indicate important similarities in the alcoholism pattern between Sweden and the U.S.A.
