DSM-5: Comparison and Implications for Addiction Professionals Webinar.

The proposed DSM‐5 will eliminate the words “abuse” and “dependence” from the diagnostic lexicon and replace them with a dimensional perspective consisting of three diagnoses: mild, moderate, or severe for each substance group (leve, moderado, severo/grave).
The proposed changes will also delete legal problems related to use and replace it with the construct of craving/compulsion to use. All 11 of the new criteria will be on a continuum.
- Those with positive findings on two or three of the 11 will receive a diagnosis of “mild” substance use disorder,
- Those positive for three or four will receive a “moderate” diagnosis, and
- Those with six or more positive findings will receive a diagnosis of “severe” substance use disorder.
This free webinar will examine the similarities and differences under the proposed DSM‐5 for alcohol, cannabis and cocaine diagnoses. We will utilize diagnostic information on a sample of more than 7,000 adults and 1,000 adolescents from structured interviews that capture elements of both diagnostic formulations. For no diagnosis or dependence, the new diagnoses will place most individuals into the "no diagnosis" and "severe" group, respectively. However, for those with a current diagnosis of abuse, substantial changes in diagnoses will be outlined. Results also indicate that all criteria are not equal in indicating a more severe condition. Clinical and policy implications will be discussed. Not to be missed!
