There is also another way - you maximise the product of sensitivity and specificity (which maximises the ROC AUC):
Liu X. Classification accuracy and cut point selection. Stat Med. 2012 Feb. 3. 

I have written a program to implement both Youden's and Liu's methods. It's not ready for public release but I'll send it to you privately.

Youdon's index and the point where the ROC curve is closest to 0,1.  Is there a way to compute either or both of these using Stata or a user written command? Findit youdon shows nothing.
