Protocol

The Working Group acknowledges that the following questions may gather sensitive information relating to the use of substances and/or illegal conduct. If the information is released it might be damaging to an individual’s employability, lead to social stigmatization, or other consequences.

For information on obtaining a Certificate of Confidentiality, which helps researchers protect the privacy of human research participants, please go to the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Institutional Review Board website.

Respondents are asked the following two questions: one regarding the frequency of consumption (number of days), and a second regarding the usual quantity of consumption (number of drinks) on drinking days.

1. Think specifically about the past 30 days, from [DATEFILL*], up to and including today. During the past 30 days, on how many days did you drink one or more drinks of an alcoholic beverage?

# OF DAYS: ____ [RANGE: 0 - 30]

Don’t Know / Refused

2. On the days that you drank during the past 30 days, how many drinks did you usually have each day? Count as a drink a can or bottle of beer; a wine cooler or a glass of wine, champagne, or sherry; a shot of liquor or a mixed drink or cocktail.

# OF DRINKS: ____ [RANGE: 1 - 90]

Don’t Know / Refused

* DATEFILL is the date 30 days prior to the date of the interview.

Notes to interviewer:

  • Definition of a standard drink: 1 12oz bottle of beer, 1 glass 4oz non-fortified wine, 1 mixed drink with 1oz liquor.
  • If respondent needs a visual reference for the size of a drink, the flashcards from the Wave 1 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) study are provided below:

Personnel and Training Required

If an interviewer prepares the survey for self-administration, the interviewer must be trained and found competent to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population.

Equipment Needs

While the source instrument was developed for administration by computer, the PhenX Working Group acknowledges that these questions can be administered in a noncomputerized format.

Selection Rationale

The protocol from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health was selected because this survey is a primary source of information on the 30-day use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco in the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States. The study was initiated in 1971 and is currently conducted on an annual basis.
