A proposed scale for alcohol problems which consisted of five items, was psychometrically examined and validated. Latent class analysis was used in addition to classic psychometric measures. The use of this scale in health surveys of the general population seems to be justified, as it offers a reliable and very economic method to measure alcohol induced problems. It is therefore proposed that this scale should continue to be used in future rounds of the Swiss Health Survey. The context of the questioning has to be taken into account when interpreting the summary score, as items showed different patterns of response in personal vs interview questionnaires.
一个由五个项目组成的酒精问题量表经过了心理测量学检验和验证。除了经典的心理测量方法外，还使用了潜在类别分析。该量表在一般人群健康调查中的应用似乎是合理的，因为它提供了一种可靠且非常经济的方法来测量酒精引起的问题。因此，建议在瑞士健康调查的未来轮次中继续使用该量表。在解释总分时必须考虑提问的背景，因为这些项目在个人问卷和访谈问卷中的回答模式不同。
