Leeds Dependence Questionnaire (LDQ)

Tober & Raistrick

Measures substance dependence. Dependence has been formulated into a purely psychological understanding so that pathophysiological elements of the dependence syndrome, namely tolerance and withdrawal, are translated into psychological terms and become universal. The instrument is capable of measuring change in dependence and can therefore be used to follow treatment progress and evaluate treatment outcomes. The LDQ measures dependence in abstinent patients. The LDQ has been validated for use with alcohol and heroin users and smokers.
