自20世纪50年代初，当麦克斯韦和斯特劳斯和培根2发表了一个数量频率的方法来估计酒精消费量，这个程序，经过各种修改，已被广泛使用，特别是在研究大量人群的饮酒习惯。因为许多关于人们实际饮酒习惯的推断是基于他们饮酒行为的自我报告，所以饮酒行为的自我报告随时间的稳定性是一个相关的问题。我们所关心的问题是，如果一个人在今天的一次访问中被归类为“豪饮者”或“微饮者”，那么在大约一个星期后接受同样的访问时，他是否仍然被归类为“豪饮者”或“微饮者”呢？本文以饮酒行为的自我报告为基础，通过定量-频率-变异性（QFV）访谈，探讨了饮酒行为分类的可靠性。只有Edwards等人3报告了自我报告饮酒量的重测信度。因为他们获得数据和评分的程序与这个国家常用的程序有很大的不同，所以设计了本研究。本研究的目的是确定三个酒精消费分数的短期重测信度，所有这些分数都来自同一次访谈：绝对酒精（AA）分数，来自Jessor等人，4 QFV指数和体积变异性（VV）指数，均由Cahalan等人开发。
Since the early 1950s, when Maxwell’ and Straus and Bacon2 published a quantity-frequency approach to estimating alcohol consumption, this procedure, with various modifications, has been widely used, especially for studying drinking habits in large populations. Because many inferences are made about the actual drinking habits of persons based on self-reports of their drinking practices, the stability of the self-report of drinking behavior over time is a relevant issue. The question with which we are concerned is: If a person is classified as a “heavy drinker” or a “light drinker” on the basis of a n interview given today, will he still be classified as a “heavy drinker” or a “light drinker” when given the same interview in about a week? This paper discusses the reliability of the classification of subjects’ alcohol consumption, based on their self-reports of drinking behavior obtained through a quantity-frequency-variability (QFV) interview. Only Edwards et al.3 have reported on the test-retest reliability of self-reports of alcohol consumption. Because their procedure for obtaining and scoring the data differed considerably from the procedures commonly used in this country, the present study was designed. The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term test-retest reliability of three alcohol consumption scores, all derived from the same interview: the absolute alcohol (AA) score, from Jessor et al.,4 the QFV index, and the volume variability (VV) index, both developed by Cahalan et al.5
