Personnel and Training Required

The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews.* The interviewer should be trained to prompt respondents further if a "dont know" response is provided.

*There are multiple modes to administer this question (e.g., paper-and-pencil and computer-assisted interviews).

Equipment Needs

While the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-IV (AUDADIS-IV) instrument was developed for administration by computer, the PhenX Working Group acknowledges that this question can be administered in a noncomputerized format. Hasin et al. (1997) and Grant et al. (1995) used the AUDADIS in paper-and-pencil format, while Grant et al. (2003) obtained data with the computerized format.

Selection Rationale

The protocol from the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule (AUDADIS) was chosen because it was used in a large epidemiological study of adults of a wide age range and different ethnicities (Wave I included 43,093 Americans; in Wave 2, a total of 34,653 members of the original cohort were reinterviewed) and the measures from this survey have been validated and psychometrically tested.
