- Abstract
Better insight into craving may contribute to the development of more efficient relapse prevention strategies. Inconsistent findings on the relation between craving and relapse may be due to difficulties in the measurement of craving. These difficulties are accounted for by 3 interrelated problems: lack of consensus regarding the definition of craving, the use of different time frames (craving now vs craving in the past), and lack of concordance between self-reported craving and psychophysiological measures of cue reactivity. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a new self-report questionnaire for the assessment of the core aspects of craving, taking into account different time frames and emphasizing the psychophysiological aspects of craving. It is hypothesized that this questionnaire will show higher concordance with measures of cue reactivity than existing self-report craving questionnaires.
