Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study developed a screening test for harmful alcohol consumption with positive items. This test consisted of a group of items highly correlated with the conventional alcohol dependence screening test and a group of items having a low correlation with it. In addition, this test score was related to aspects of interpersonal relationship not related in the conventional test. And this test had sufficient test-retest reliability.
