Protocol - Alcohol - Maximum Drinks in 24 Hours

Add to My Toolkit
Description

Lifetime measurement of the largest number of drinks a respondent has consumed taken from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III).

Specific Instructions

The Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition Version (AUDADIS-5) Alcohol and Drug Use Disorders Scoring Algorithms are provided for data interpretation. Please click here to access the scoring algorithm document. The algorithms were constructed by Yoanna McDowell, M.A, under the supervision of Dr. Kenneth Sher (University of Missouri) in 2017 and posted here with their permission. They were verified by diagnostic variables available in the NESARC-III data set and published NESARC-III diagnostic and severity prevalence data. Users are solely responsible for the use and interpretation of the algorithms and results.

Due to the complexity of the algorithms and associated analysis, Expert Review Panel 3 recommends analysis be performed by a statistician who has experience using NESARC datasets.

The Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition Version (AUDADIS-5) is a complex diagnostic instrument that likely requires expertise with SAS and the NESARC dataset in order to successfully implement scoring algorithms. Investigators interested in briefer, screening-level assessments of alcohol and other substance use disorders are encouraged to review assessments of this collection:

Mental Health Research Collections

The following question may gather sensitive information relating to the use of substances or illegal conduct. If the information is released, it might be damaging to an individual’s employability, lead to social stigmatization, or result in other consequences.

For information on obtaining a Certificate of Confidentiality, which helps researchers protect the privacy of human research participants, please go to the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Institutional Review Board website (http://www.genome.gov/10005108).

Respondents are only asked this question if they answered "yes" to the Alcohol - Lifetime Use measure. If the respondent is male and reports consuming 5 or more drinks or if the respondent is female and reports consuming 4 or more drinks, then the researcher can extract binge drinking.

Protocol

The next question is about drinking alcohol. This includes coolers; beer; wine; champagne; liquor such as whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, bourbon, tequila, scotch, brandy, cognac, or liqueurs; and also any other type of alcohol.

  1. APPROXIMATELY what was the largest number of drinks that you drank in a single day?

1[ ]1-2 drinks

2[ ]3-4 drinks

3[ ]5-7 drinks

4[ ]8-11 drinks

5[ ]12-23 drinks

6[ ]24+ drinks

Personnel and Training Required

The interviewer must be trained and found competent to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer should be trained to prompt respondents further if a "don’t know" response is provided. It is preferable either to read the questionnaire aloud to the respondent or to administer it in an audio-assisted computer interview (ACASI) format. The questions are sensitive in nature, and the interviewer should be trained to react appropriately to emotional responses. If a distressed respondent protocol is adopted, the interviewer should be trained to administer those procedures.

Equipment Needs

While the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-5 (AUDADIS-5) instrument was developed for administration by computer, the PhenX WG acknowledges that these questions can be administered in a noncomputerized format. Hasin et al. (1997) and Grant et al. (1995) used the AUDADIS in paper-and-pencil format, while Grant et al. (2003) obtained data with the computerized format.

Selection Rationale

The National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III) captures diagnostic information via the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule (AUDADIS-5). Therefore, the user can link diagnostic data from the NESARC directly to treatment utilization also collected from the NESARC.

Process and Review

The Expert Review Panel 3 (ERP3) reviewed the measures in the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Substances domain and in the Substance Abuse and Addiction Collection.

Guidance from the ERP includes:

• Updated the protocol (same source)

Partially back-compatible (updated/similar protocol which would require some changes to the data dictionary), variable mapping between current and previous protocols can be found here (link).
