The patients answered the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale (Halikas et al., 1991). INTENSITY: Evaluation of crack strength by cocaine in the previous week: Zero (no craving)---------------------------- -----10 (Intense craving) Ranges from 0 to 10 (zero = no craving; 10 intense craving). Using a rule starting from 0, we determine the number that corresponds to the compulsion. The farther from 0 the more intense the compulsion will be. Frequency of craving onset: How many times a day 0 time/day - check: 0 point
6 to 10 times/day - check: 4 points 11 to 20 times/day - check: 5 points more than 20 times/day - check: 6 points Ranges from 0 to 6 points (zero = no craving; 1-2 points: Light; 3-4 points: moderate; 5- 6: intense craving). The sum of the points of the subscales provides the final score. |
