本研究评估精神科门诊病人时间线回访（TLFB）程序的时间稳定性及同时效度。测试-重测稳定性（N = 17）在30天和180天的间隔内评估饮酒天数的频率和最大每日摄入量。（仅对饮酒者）发现30天内的饮酒频率和两个间隔内的最大每日饮酒量之间存在显著相关性。将来自TLFB的30天饮酒频率与来自成瘾严重程度指数（N = 79）的可比较估计值进行比较，发现整个样本之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.65），而饮酒者子集之间的相关性略小（r = 0.50）。这一初步证据表明，TLFB提供了30天内饮酒频率和最大饮酒量的可靠估计，并与每月饮酒频率的另一项测量显示出适度的关联。
This study evaluated the temporal stability and concurrent validity of the time-line follow-back (TLFB) procedure among psychiatric outpatients. Test-retest stability (N = 17) was evaluated over both 30-day and 180-day intervals for frequency of drinking days and maximum daily quantity. Significant correlations (for drinkers only) were found for drinking frequency over 30 days and maximum daily quantity for both intervals. Comparison of 30-day drinking frequency from the TLFB and a comparable estimate from the Addiction Severity Index (N = 79) yielded a significant correlation across the entire sample (r = .65) and a slightly smaller correlation for the subset of drinkers (r = .50). This preliminary evidence suggests that the TLFB provides reliable estimates of drinking frequency and maximum quantity over a 30-day period and shows moderate association with another measure of monthly drinking frequency.
