“…Others have determined that self-report of alcohol use is relatively reliable and valid, especially when collected under conditions of anonymity (Aquilino, 1992(Aquilino, , 1994Midanik, 1988). Although fi eld studies of illegal drug use have been shown to be subject to response effects, self-report of alcohol use tends to be less biased (Aquilino, 1994;Aquilino and Lo Sciuto, 1990).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:We examined whether motivation to change mediated the relationships between gender and baseline alcohol severity with drinking outcome at 12-month follow-up in a longitudinal community sample. Method: Data were from baseline and 12-month interviews from the Rural Alcohol Study, a probability sample of rural and urban at-risk drinkers (N = 733) from six southern states. At-risk drinkers were identifi ed through a telephone-screening interview. Measures of motivation (problem recognition and taking action) were the resultant two factors derived from the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale. Items on social consequences of drinking measured alcohol severity. Structural equation models examined relationships between baseline alcohol severity and motivation with drinks per drinking day at 12 months. Results: We identifi ed signifi cant, direct paths between drinking at 12 months and alcohol severity and taking action with an unstandardized estimate of 0.116 (p < .05), alcohol severity and problem recognition (0.423, p < .01), and each of the two "motivation" latent constructs-problem recognition (1.846, p < .01) and taking action (-0.660, p < .01). Finally, the combined direct and negative effect of gender on alcohol consumption at 12-month follow-up was statistically signifi cant, with an unstandardized estimate of -0.970 (p < .01). Conclusions: The current study offers evidence for motivation to change as a viable mechanism through which alcohol severity is associated with subsequent drinking outcomes. More research is needed to further explore the persistence of motivation to change on drinking outcomes over time. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 73, 504-513, 2012)

“…Lower rates of agreement may also be present among ethnic minorities because of minorities' experience of discrimination, the consequent lack of trust in societal institutions, and increased fear of reprisal for reporting deviant behaviors such as IPV. For instance, Aquilino and LoSciuto (1990) suggest that minorities are more suspicious than Whites of surveys of deviant behavior and may be less confident in the confidentiality of the research process. These factors would make couples in ethnic minority groups more reluctant than Whites to admit perpetration or victimization by IPV out of fear of legal consequences from the police and other authorities.…”

“…Questions about alcohol and illicit drug use are likely to be sensitive, because they are associated with a strong social desirability response bias (Duffy & Waterton, 1984). Previously, many different survey methodshave been used to measure sensitive behaviors,such as self-administeredpaperquestionnaires (Wright, Aquilino, & Supple, 1998), face-to-face interviews (Konings, Bantebya, Caraël, Bagenda, & Mertens, 1995), computerassisted personal interviews (Tourangeau & Smith, 1996), computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATIs; Aquilino & Lo Sciuto, 1990), computer-assisted self-interviews (Bonevski, Sanson-Fisher, Campbell, & Ireland, 1997;Millstein & Irwin, 1983), and audio computer-assisted self-interviews (Tourangeau & Smith, 1996;Turner et al, 1998). Those methods that involve self-administration and greater anonymity have been found to produce higher reporting rates on sensitive issues (Kobak et al, 1997;Tourangeau & Smith, 1996).…”

Interactive voice response ( IVR) technology presents a new and promising approach by which to collect accurate data on sensitive topics by telephone interviews. In a national survey of 2,880 households of alcohol and drug consumption, we compared computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) and IVR with two hybrid methods that combine IVR with CATI. The principal hypothesis was that the selfreport rates of sensitive behaviors would be higher for the hybrid and IVR methods owing to greater perceived confidentiality than with CATI. All the methods obtained similar sample demographic compositions. Response rates did not differ significantly between the CATI and the hybrid methods; however, the response rate with IVR was significantly lower. The hybrid and IVR methods obtained significantly higher self-report consumption rates for alcohol and marijuana and significantly higher hazardous drinking scores, as measured by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT).
