The influence of response options for and location of frequency of alcohol use items in a self-administered microcomputer interview were evaluated in a randomized, experimental study of 296 clients at a west coast treatment site for drinking drivers. Respondents were asked about their frequency of alcohol use in the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days with three methodological factors randomized: (1) how quantitative the response options were; (2) order of presentation of close-ended response options; and (3) relative placement of alcohol use items in the questionnaire. Results indicate that these methodological factors had minimal influence on self-reports of the frequency of alcohol use. Only two statistically significant effects out of 44 possible were observed. The findings of this study suggest that frequency of alcohol use reports by drinking drivers yield similar information for a range of different response formats and location of the items in a microcomputer interview.
在一项针对西海岸酒驾者治疗中心296名客户的随机实验研究中，评估了在自行管理的微机访谈中，饮酒频率项目的回答选项及其位置的影响。受访者被问及过去7天、30天、90天和180天的饮酒频率，同时对三个方法学因素进行随机化处理：（1）回答选项的量化程度；（2）封闭式回答选项的呈现顺序；（3）饮酒频率项目在问卷中的相对位置。结果表明，这些方法学因素对饮酒频率的自我报告影响极小。在44种可能的情况中，仅观察到两个具有统计学意义的效应。本研究结果表明，酒驾者的饮酒频率报告在一系列不同的回答格式以及微机访谈中项目的位置情况下，能产生相似的信息。
