The Alcohol Problems Questionnaire (APQ) is a reliable tool for assessing alcohol-related problems. This study confirms its validity and utility in clinical and research settings for understanding problem drinking.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • The Alcohol Problems Questionnaire (APQ) is a clinical tool for measuring alcohol-related problems.
  • Its reliability and construct validity were previously unestablished.
  • Understanding alcohol problems distinct from dependence is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the test-retest reliability of the APQ.
  • To evaluate the construct validity of the APQ.
  • To investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption, dependence, and problems.

Main Methods:

  • A test-retest reliability study involving 101 subjects.
  • Collection of Alcohol Problems Questionnaire (APQ) scores.
  • Gathering data on alcohol dependence, consumption, and socio-demographics.

Main Results:

  • The APQ demonstrated high test-retest reliability.
  • The study replicated findings that dependence mediates the relationship between consumption and problems.
  • Alcohol-related problems were confirmed as distinct from dependence.

Conclusions:

  • The APQ is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing alcohol-related problems.
  • The APQ is suitable for use in clinical and research settings.
  • Findings support the conceptual and statistical distinction between alcohol problems and dependence.
