Σύνοψη	The ADS is a 25-item self-report scale designed to measure the severity of alcohol dependence symptoms according to the alcohol dependence syndrome concept. Developed by Skinner and Allen in 1982, it focuses on dependence-specific features (withdrawal, tolerance, loss of control, continued use despite harm) rather than social consequences alone. The ADS is widely used in addiction medicine, treatment outcome research, and clinical settings to assess dependence severity, guide detoxification planning, and track treatment response in individuals with alcohol use disorder.	The MAST is a 25-item self-report questionnaire developed to screen for alcohol use disorder and assess alcohol-related problems in adults. First published by Selzer in 1971, it is one of the earliest and most widely used alcohol screening instruments, particularly in primary care, emergency medicine, and addiction medicine settings. The MAST identifies problematic alcohol use through items assessing alcohol consumption patterns, consequences (legal, medical, social, occupational), withdrawal symptoms, and problem recognition. Brief versions (13-item and 10-item) have been developed for rapid screening.
