Carney et al. [23] evaluated the overall correspondence and day-to-day agreement between daily reports and reports obtained using the TLFB [15]. Daily booklets were completed for 28 days by a group of problem drinkers and for 30 days using a palmtop computer by a group of moderate drinkers. Although aggregate levels of drinking were highly correlated across the two methods, the TLFB systematically underestimated drinking relative to daily assessment. There were also large differences among participants in day-to-day correspondence, suggesting that the TLFB may be less useful for measuring patterns (rather than levels) of alcohol consumption.
51] randomly assigned inpatient alcoholics, stratified on the basis of co-morbid depressive symptoms, to receive either sustained-release lithium or placebo. Following discharge, patients were monitored at 6-week intervals for 1 year. The self-reported outcomes on which the treatment groups were compared were the number of days on which drinking occurred and the number of days on which patients were incapacitated by alcohol, the proportion of patients who were totally abstinent, and the change in depressive symptoms.
