目的酒精应答水平（LOR）与几种酒精相关的危险因素和结果相关。然而，现有的LOR自我报告测量有重要的局限性。例如，酒精影响自评量表评估了有限范围的酒精相关影响。虽然酒精敏感性问卷（ASQ）抽样了更广泛的效应，但它在不同的效应中使用了不同的探针，混淆了效应类型和与使用不同探针相关的方法差异。专注于ASQ，我们系统地评估了估计LOR的变化，作为测量饮料数量以达到效果的函数。我们的方法解决了现有LOR测量的一个主要限制，即不能考虑饮酒场合的敏感性变化。该研究将732名成年饮酒者随机分为四个版本，评估15种酒精相关影响的敏感性，系统地改变随访探针。在预测相关结果时，考虑到(a)在感觉效果之前消耗的最小饮酒量和(b)在所有效果中没有感觉效果的最大饮酒量优于原始的ASQ方法。结论敏感性评估应探讨每种影响的最小和最大饮酒量。如果不可能同时检测两种饮料，那么持续检测最大饮酒量是可取的。
ObjectiveLevel of response (LOR) to alcohol is associated with several alcohol-related risk factors and outcomes. However, existing self-report measures of LOR have important limitations. For example, the Self-Rating of the Effects of Alcohol Scale assesses a limited range of alcohol-related effects. Although the Alcohol Sensitivity Questionnaire (ASQ) samples a broader range of effects, it uses different probes across effects, confounding type of effect with method variation associated with the use of different probes. Focusing on the ASQ, we systematically evaluate variation in estimated LOR as a function of how number of drinks to achieve an effect is probed. Our approach addresses a major limitation of existing LOR measures which fail to account for sensitivity variability across drinking occasions.MethodThis study randomized 732 adult drinkers into one of four versions of the ASQ that assessed sensitivity to 15 alcohol-related effects, systematically varying the follow-up probes.ResultsAccounting for (a) the minimum number of drinks consumed before feeling an effect and (b) the maximum number of drinks consumed without feeling an effect for all effects is superior to the original ASQ approach in predicting relevant outcomes.ConclusionsAssessments of sensitivity should probe for minimum and maximum number of drinks across each of the effects. If impractical to probe for both, consistently probing for maximum number of drinks is desirable.
