The Assessment of Alcohol Consumption by a Simple Self-administered Questionnaire
Abstract
The authors evaluated the reproducibility and validity of alcohol consumption measured by a mailed, self-administered questionnaire in two large prospective studies. Subsamples of 173 women and 136 men from these cohorts completed two food-frequency questionnaires and multiple 1-week diet records (four for women and two for men) and provided a fasting blood sample. Intakes of alcohol reported over the previous year by food frequency questionnaire 2 correlated highly with intake assessed by multiple week diet records completed over this period (Spearman r = 0.90 in women and 0.86 in men). Mean daily alcohol intake as assessed by the diet records and the questionnaires was very similar. Serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly correlated with alcohol intakes estimated from the questionnaire (r = 0.40 in women and 0.35 in men) and for the diet records (r = 0.33 in women and 0.38 in men). Four years after completing the diet records, women were asked to report their alcohol intake of 4 years earlier; this estimate was highly correlated with the diet records (r = 0.84) and with the earlier high density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = 0.40). These data suggest that a simple self-administered questionnaire can provide useful estimates of alcohol intake over an extended period of time in subjects participating in prospective epidemiologic studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
