Addictive Behaviours, 06/24/09
Dum M et al. - This study found that the QDS has demonstrated efficacy for screening women whose level of alcohol use puts them at risk for an AEP. Although the QDS does not yield detailed drinking information, it could be used when it is not possible or necessary to gather daily drinking data.
Methods- 355 women who voluntarily participated in a research study during 2005 through 2007 designed to prevent AEPs.
- All women were screened by phone for eligibility using the QDS and approximately 2 weeks later completed a 3-month TLFB by mail.
- QDS and the TLFB, two very different drinking measures, collected similar aggregate drinking data for women who drink heavily and are at risk of an AEP.
- Correspondence between the two drinking measures met acceptable levels of reliability.
