This study compared reports of alcohol consumption using an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system and the Timeline Followback (TLFB). One hundred eighty-two daily smokers who were not alcohol dependent provided once daily reports of alcohol consumption using an IVR system and participated in a weekly TLFB interview. The reporting time period was 7 days after participants attempted to quit smoking as part of participation in a smoking cessation clinical trial. The results revealed moderate to high correlations between reports of drinking behavior as assessed by IVR and TLFB. Reporting biases for both IVR and TLFB were approximately equal, with a slight trend toward underreporting drinking on the TLFB. Compliance with the IVR system was poor. This study provides preliminary evidence that it is possible to use an IVR system for the assessment of alcohol use in smokers participating in a clinical trial, and IVR seems to adequately assess drinking behavior in those that use the system. However, future studies should focus on improving compliance with IVR in this population.
本研究比较了使用交互式语音应答（IVR）系统和时间线追溯法（TLFB）报告饮酒情况的差异。182名非酒精依赖的每日吸烟者使用IVR系统每日报告饮酒情况，并参与每周一次的TLFB访谈。报告时间段为参与者作为戒烟临床试验一部分尝试戒烟后的7天。结果显示，IVR和TLFB评估的饮酒行为报告之间存在中度到高度的相关性。IVR和TLFB的报告偏差大致相等，TLFB上存在轻微的饮酒报告不足趋势。对IVR系统的依从性较差。本研究提供了初步证据，表明在参与临床试验的吸烟者中使用IVR系统评估酒精使用情况是可行的，并且IVR似乎能够充分评估使用该系统者的饮酒行为。然而，未来的研究应专注于提高该人群对IVR的依从性。
