[Screening tools for cannabis use disorders and their adaptation to DSM-5: A literature review].

CONCLUSION: Among the many questionnaires available, few are suited for daily clinical practice in France because of their complexity, their long duration or the absence of a validated French translation. The CUDIT-R has good psychometric characteristics, is simple to use, and has been validated according to the criteria of DSM-5. These questionnaires are obviously not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis and must be followed by a specialist's evaluation. However, they remain an interesting mediation, encouraging a patient's awareness and commitment to care. PMID: 32475691 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
