Background:

Cocaine dependence is an increasing problem in France. Most cocaine addicts do not perceive themselves as dependent, although they may experiment craving for cocaine.

Methods:

We decided to adapt in French a craving questionnaire (Anton 1998) that was first developed to assess craving in alcoholic patients. This questionnaire conceptualizes craving for cocaine as made of two dimensions (obsessions and compulsions) and is based on the Y-BOCS.

Setting:

Fifty patients in two outpatient addiction clinics were recruited.

Results:

Preliminary results regarding craving scores, as well as the scores on the two dimensions (obsessions and compulsions) are described. Reliability, sensitivity to change, and construct validity of this questionnaire are discussed. The effect of sex, type of cocaine used (crack or cocaine) and place of treatment on craving scores were tested with one-way ANOVA.

Conclusion:

The French version of this craving questionnaire can be used in cocaine dependent patients. It could be a sensitive tool to measure efficacy of pharmacological and/or psychological treatments in cocaine addiction.
