Development of Korean Patient Placement Criteria for the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder

Objectives ： The aim of this study is to develop the Korean Patient Placement Criteria (K-PPC) for the treatment of alcohol use disorder by using a focused group interview (FGI) and the Delphi method. Methods ： In order to develop the K-PPC, we analyzed the American Society of Addiction Medicine’s Patient Placement Criteria (ASAM’s PPC) and Models of Care for Alcohol Misusers (MoCAM). FGI and a two-round Delphi survey were conducted with alcohol treatment experts. We evaluated the validity and reliability of the Delphi survey and composed a final version of the K-PPC. Results ： The K-PPC comprised of 6 dimensions and 5 levels of care. The first and second Delphi surveys revealed that the K-PPC has sufficient validity and reliability except for dimension 3. Conclusion : The K-PPC can contribute to the delivery of information by providing treatment guidelines between institutions, and it is expected to contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of alcohol addiction treatment through proper distribution of resources.
