“…Other studies have evaluated quantity-frequency measures, such as the Quick Drinking Screen, and have reported favorable comparisons with the TLFB (Roy et al, 2008;Sobell et al, 2003). Quantity-frequency assessments, however, are considered to be less sensitive to sporadic days of heavy drinking (Sobell et al, 2003). Of note, heavy episodic drinking was observed in 6%-9% of subjects in the current study, and its prevalence increased as longer time horizons were evaluated.…”

“…The TLFB was administered via telephone interview by trained telephone interviewers and assessed the quantity and pattern of alcohol consumption over the prior 30-day period (Braithwaite et al, 2005). The TLFB has been evaluated in clinical and nonclinical populations and has been shown to have high test-retest reliability across multiple populations of drinkers (Roy et al, 2008;Sobell et al, 1988Sobell et al, , 2001Sobell et al, , 2003Vakili et al, 2008).…”

“…We multiplied the frequency and quantity values to create an overall drinking composite. Drinking estimates based on quantity/frequency measures such as these have been found to be highly correlated with more sophisticated assessment approaches, such as timeline follow back procedures (Sobell et al, 2003;Collins et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Consistent with research indicating that drinking to cope (DTC) motivation might exacerbate negative affective states within or immediately proximal to discrete drinking episodes, we examined whether yearly deviations in more global levels of DTC motivation prospectively predicted depressive and anxious affect over several weeks. Method: College students (N = 521, 52% women) completed baseline measures of drinking motives, recent depression and anxiety symptoms, recent alcohol use, and alcohol use disorder symptoms on a secure website. Approximately 2 weeks after completing this survey, participants completed the 30-day daily diary portion of the study in which they reported on their current-day affective states. This yearly assessment burst in which participants completed a baseline survey and a daily diary assessment was repeated for 3 additional years. Results: We found that changes in DTC motivation were positively associated with changes in depressive and anxious affect in the subsequent month, after we controlled for changes in concurrent anxiety and depressive symptoms, drinking level, enhancement drinking motivation, and alcohol use disorder symptoms. Conclusions: Our findings are consistent with the notion that DTC motivation confers a unique vulnerability for emotion dysregulation, and that drinking for such reasons possibly prolongs or exacerbates negative affective states.

“…Jon's alcohol consumption was assessed using the Timeline Follow-back Method (TLFB), a psychometrically sound drinking assessment tool that is able to capture un patterned and sporadic heavy drinking days. 22,23 Based on the SOH, Jon reported psychological and physical abuse at the hands of his father, and expressed that he learned as a child that it was not acceptable to express negative affect and that doing so would lead to rejection or harm from others. His scores on the interpersonal circumplex at the start of treatment indicated that he was typically submissive and hostile-submissive interpersonally and lacked ability to exert assertive behaviors.…”

However, there have been few well-specified, empirically supported behavioral therapies with an integrated approach to treating symptoms of both disorders. [4][5][6] The most commonly evaluated types of behavioral therapies for co-occurring disorders include motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and contingency management (CM); 4 research supports that an integrated therapy possessing components of MI, CBT, and CM would be most ideal to target co occurring depression and alcoholism. [4][5][6] The lack of successful treatment options for chronically depressed alcohol dependent individuals may be due in part to the complex characteristics these individuals possess that make their treatment more challenging. 7-10Comorbid depression is associated with poorer prognosis during and after alcoholism treatment and depressed mood may be an important trigger of alcoholic relapse. 7,11 Interpersonal avoidance behaviors are salient variables in individuals diagnosed with both alcoholism and depression. These patients typically report a high rate of adverse early home environments, a lifelong history of intrapersonal and interpersonal failure, an earlier onset of depression and alcohol use disorders, more comorbidity, a more severe course of illness, and they demonstrate interpersonal avoidance and detachment. 8,12,13 Early abuse/trauma history impairs development of adequate interpersonal coping skills, resulting in depression, social isolation, or withdrawal.14 In addition, real-world and prolonged environmental stressors usually accompany these individuals' presenting complaints. They are often skeptical or ambivalent about change, and the processes of change are often slow, irregular, and inconsistent. In fact, a pattern of success followed by a setback is common and periodic...
