Enhancing the self-report of alcohol consumption in the community: two questionnaire formats
1Department of Health Research and Policy, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, Calif. 94304-1583.
Abstract:
Two questionnaire formats for assessing alcohol consumption in a community sample were compared. Subjects completed the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire and a questionnaire specifically targeting alcohol use. Across all alcoholic beverages, subjects reported lower consumption on the alcohol questionnaire than on the food frequency questionnaire. The results suggest that food frequency questionnaires may provide a better means for enhancing self-report of alcohol use than questionnaires that target solely alcohol intake.
