This study aims to develop a new alcohol hangover symptom severity scale and compare its effectiveness with the Hangover Symptoms Scale (HSS), the Acute Hangover Scale (AHS), and a one-item hangover score.
Data from 1,410 Dutch students (Penning et al., Alcohol Alcohol 47:248-252, 2012) on the severity of 47 hangover symptoms were re-analyzed to develop the Alcohol Hangover Severity Scale (AHSS). The psychometric properties of the AHSS were compared with those of the HSS and the AHS. A survey among 1,000 students compared the AHSS and HSS with a one-item hangover severity score. The AHSS was further tested in a naturalistic hangover experiment.
The 12 items of the AHSS were fatigue, clumsiness, dizziness, apathy, sweating, shivering, nausea, heart pounding, confusion, stomach pain, concentration problems, and thirst. The Penning et al. (Alcohol Alcohol 47:248-252, 2012) data revealed that the predictive validity of the AHSS (92.4 %) for the overall hangover score was significantly higher than that of the HSS (81.5 %) and the AHS (71.0 %). The survey data (N = 966) showed that scores on the AHSS (39.7 %) and the HSS (47.6 %) only moderately predicted the one-item hangover score. A total of 119 subjects completed the naturalistic study. On average, they consumed 9.7 alcoholic consumptions, yielding a mean estimated blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.16 %. During hangover, the AHSS score correlated significantly with the number of alcoholic consumptions (r = 0.38, p < 0.0001) and estimated BAC (r = 0.40, p < 0.0001).
The AHS, HSS, and AHSS all seem appropriate for application in hangover research. The use of a one-item hangover scale is not recommended.
本研究旨在开发一种新的酒精宿醉症状严重程度量表，并将其与宿醉症状量表（HSS）、急性宿醉量表（AHS）和一项宿醉评分进行比较。
对 1410 名荷兰学生（Penning 等人，Alcohol Alcohol 47：248-252，2012）的 47 种宿醉症状严重程度的数据进行重新分析，以开发酒精宿醉严重程度量表（AHSS）。比较 AHSS 与 HSS 和 AHS 的心理测量特性。对 1000 名学生的一项调查比较了 AHSS 和 HSS 与一项宿醉严重程度评分。进一步在自然宿醉实验中测试了 AHSS。
AHSS 的 12 项内容为疲劳、笨拙、头晕、冷漠、出汗、颤抖、恶心、心跳加速、困惑、胃痛、注意力问题和口渴。Penning 等人（Alcohol Alcohol 47：248-252，2012）的数据显示，AHSS（92.4%）对整体宿醉评分的预测效度明显高于 HSS（81.5%）和 AHS（71.0%）。调查数据（N=966）显示，AHSS（39.7%）和 HSS（47.6%）的评分仅中度预测了一项宿醉评分。共有 119 名受试者完成了自然研究。平均而言，他们饮用了 9.7 份含酒精饮品，产生了 0.16%的平均估计血液酒精浓度（BAC）。在宿醉期间，AHSS 评分与饮酒量（r=0.38，p<0.0001）和估计 BAC（r=0.40，p<0.0001）呈显著相关。
AHS、HSS 和 AHSS 似乎都适合用于宿醉研究。不建议使用一项宿醉评分。
