这项研究考察了106名男性酗酒患者及其女性伴侣(治疗样本夫妇)和130名目前没有酒精/药物问题的男性和女性参与者(社区样本夫妇)的简短药物使用频率(DUF)测量的同时有效性信息的两个来源--经过充分验证的时间线回馈(TLFB)测量和知情的附带告密者(即配偶)。结果表明，在DUR治疗样本中，患者自我报告的非法药物使用频率总体上具有良好的同时效度。结果显示：(A)所有药物类型的DUF和TLFB上的患者自我报告的药物使用频率之间存在高度相关性，以及(B)男性患者及其女性伴侣关于最常见滥用药物(大麻、可卡因和海洛因)的DUF的自我报告和附带报告之间存在高度相关性。社区抽样结果显示：(A)男性和女性参与者关于DUF的自我和附属报告与大麻和可卡因的使用频率高度相关，(B)所有药物类型的平均99%的符合率表明男性和女性参与者是否使用过每种药物。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study examined two sources of concurrent validity information for a brief Drug Use Frequency (DUF) measure - the well-validated Timeline Followback (TLFB) measure and knowledgeable collateral informants (i.e., spouses) - for 106 male alcoholic patients and their female partners (treatment sample couples) and for 130 male and female participants without current alcohol/drug problems (community sample couples). Results showed generally good concurrent validity of self-reported frequency of illicit drug use on the DUR Treatment sample results showed high correlations (a) between patient self-reported frequency of drug use on the DUF and on the TLFB for all drug types and (b) between self- and collateral reports on the DUF for male patients and their female partners for the most commonly abused drugs (cannabis, cocaine, and heroin). Community sample results showed (a) high correlations between self- and collateral reports on the DUF for male and female participants for frequency of cannabis and cocaine use and (b) average percent agreement of 99% for all drug types on whether or not male and female participants had used each drug.
