There were large differences in individual item performance across substances in terms of item difficulty and discrimination. Cocaine users were more likely to have encountered legal, social, physical and psychological consequences.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2003<\/jats:bold> The DSM\u2010IV abuse and dependence criteria, within each drug class, are not distinct but best described in terms of a single underlying continuum of risk. Because individual criteria performed very differently across substances in IRT analyses, the assumption that these items are measuring equivalent levels of severity or liability with the same discrimination across different substances is unsustainable. Compared to other drugs, cocaine usage is associated with more detrimental effects and negative consequences, whereas the effects of cannabis and hallucinogens appear to be less harmful. Implications for other drug classes are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2007.01804.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,23]],"date-time":"2007-05-23T10:46:35Z","timestamp":1179917195000},"page":"920-930","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":85,"title":["Factor and item\u2010response analysis DSM\u2010IV criteria for abuse of and dependence on cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, sedatives, stimulants and opioids"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Nathan A.","family":"Gillespie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael C.","family":"Neale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carol A.","family":"Prescott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven H.","family":"Aggen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth S.","family":"Kendler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.151.6.834"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1994.tb02787.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1991.tb01705.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.1993.tb00821.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0376-8716(00)00197-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM\u2010III\u2010R","author":"American Psychiatric Association.","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM\u2010IV","author":"American Psychiatric Association.","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0021-843X.113.1.72"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0376-8716(02)00223-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1360-0443.1999.9468438.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0376-8716(95)01142-L"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1360-0443.1995.901216618.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.161.11.1967"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","volume-title":"Applications of Item Response Theory to Practical Testing Problems","author":"Lord F.
