Validation of a Short Questionnaire (SSI) for Sleep Disorders in Patients With Alcohol

Sleep disorders are very common in alcohol patients (40-90% according to studies) These sleep disorders may persist after withdrawal and represent a major factor in relapse.

In a previous study, the investigators validated a simple sleep questionnaire (the "Short Sleep Index = SSI") from a multicentre series of 602 American patients (Perney et al., Alcohol Alcohol 2012) The SSI is obtained from the Hamilton score (baseline score for anxiety and depression)
