The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) has been shown to be a psychometrically sound assessment instrument for obtaining retrospective daily estimates of alcohol consumption. These evaluations, however, have been limited to face-to-face paper-and-pencil interviews. As use of the TLFB method has increased, investigators have reported using the method to collect follow-up data by telephone. Also, as with many assessment instruments, a computerized version of the TLFB method has been developed. The psychometric characteristics of the TLFB method under these administration conditions have not been evaluated. This paper presents results from two studies showing that the Alcohol TLFB method can obtain reliable drinking data when administered over the telephone and by computer.
酒精时间回溯法（TLFB）已被证明是一种心理测量学上可靠的评估工具，可用于获取酒精摄入量的回顾性每日估计值。然而，这些评估仅限于面对面的纸笔访谈。随着TLFB方法使用的增加，研究人员报告称使用该方法通过电话收集随访数据。此外，与许多评估工具一样，已经开发出了TLFB方法的计算机化版本。在这些管理条件下，TLFB方法的心理测量学特征尚未得到评估。本文介绍了两项研究的结果，表明酒精TLFB方法在通过电话和计算机进行管理时能够获得可靠的饮酒数据。
