Validation of the Maudsley Addiction Profile Health Symptoms Scale as a Measure of Symptom Severity in Concurrent Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Inpatients

University of British Columbia. Department of Psychology

The Maudsley Addiction Profile is often used in research on concurrent disorders (comorbid mental health and substance use disorders). However, its Health Symptoms Scale (MAP-HSS) has not been validated and psychological and somatic mental health symptom severity scores from this measure are rarely reported. In this study, the concurrent validity of the MAP-HSS was assessed via correlations with the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. The MAP-HSS had acceptable concurrent validity (rho’s = 0.717-0.781, p’s < 0.001) and internal consistency (a = 0.934). The validity of the MAP-HSS supports its utility as a measure of overall psychological wellbeing in research with concurrent disorder populations.
