“…However, unmeasured factors (e.g., concurrent stressors), particularly those that co-occur with heavy methamphetamine use, may have contributed to the symptom exacerbation. Although we rely on self-reported methamphetamine use, self-report has been found to be an accurate and reliable indicator of drug use (Darke, 1998), and our measure of days of methamphetamine use has had excellent agreement with relevant biomarkers in other research (Fals-Stewart et al, 2000).…”

Methods: 164 methamphetamine users, who did not meet DSM-IV criteria for a lifetime primary psychotic disorder, were followed monthly for one year to assess the relationship between days of methamphetamine use and symptom severity on the 24-item Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale.Exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms with methamphetamine use was quantified using random coefficient models. The dimensions of symptom exacerbation were examined using principal axis factoring and a latent profile analysis. Results:Symptoms exacerbated by methamphetamine loaded on three factors: positive psychotic symptoms (suspiciousness, unusual thought content, hallucinations, bizarre behavior); affective symptoms (depression, suicidality, guilt, hostility, somatic concern, self-neglect); and psychomotor symptoms (tension, excitement, distractibility, motor hyperactivity). Methamphetamine use did not significantly increase negative symptoms. Vulnerability to positive psychotic and affective symptom exacerbation was shared by 28% of participants, and this vulnerability aligned with a past year DSM-IV diagnosis of substance-induced psychosis (38% vs. 22%, χ 2 (df 1) = 3.66, p = 0.056). Conclusion:Methamphetamine use produced a symptom profile comprised of positive psychotic and affective symptoms, which aligned with a diagnosis of substance-induced psychosis, with no evidence of a negative syndrome.

“…The TLFB is a validated measure of substance use (Fals-Stewart et al, 2000), which has 88% sensitivity, 96% specificity, a 95% hit-rate and 0.77 test-retest agreement for the use of amphetamines in the past 30 days (Fals-Stewart et al, 2000).…”

“…Adapted from the Time Line Follow-Back interview (Sobell & Sobell, 1992), which has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for monitoring substance use (Fals-Stewart, O'Farrell, Freitas, McFarlin, & Rutigliano, 2000), the SUC uses a similar calendar method to allow for a continuous and reliable evaluation of daily substance use (Carroll et al, 2004).…”

The effectiveness of motivational enhancement therapy (MET) in comparison with counseling as usual (CAU) for increasing retention and reducing substance use was evaluated in a multisite randomized clinical trial. Participants were 461 outpatients treated by 31 therapists within 1 of 5 outpatient substance abuse programs. There were no retention differences between the 2 brief intervention conditions. Although both 3-session interventions resulted in reductions in substance use during the 4-week therapy phase, MET resulted in sustained reductions during the subsequent 12 weeks whereas CAU was associated with significant increases in substance use over this followup period. This finding was complicated by program site main effects and higher level interactions. MET resulted in more sustained substance use reductions than CAU among primary alcohol users, but no difference was found for primary drug users. An independent evaluation of session audiotapes indicated that MET and CAU were highly and comparably discriminable across sites.

“…The TLFB has also been evaluated as a measure of past illicit drug use and tobacco smoking, and it has been shown to have adequate reliability and validity with these substances as well (Brown et al, 1998;Fals-Stewart, O'Farrell, Freitas, McFarlin, & Rutigliano, 2000;Hersh, Mulgrew, Van Kirk, & Kranzler, 1999).…”

This study focuses on comparing reports of cigarette consumption using an interactive voice response (IVR) system and the timeline follow-back (TLFB) method. As part of a smoking cessation trial, daily reports of cigarette use were collected using an IVR system and TLFB for 7 days after participants attempted to quit smoking. Reports of cigarette consumption were assessed for the entire sample (N = 381) and for the subset of nonabstinent participants (n = 129 smokers). The results revealed high correlations between reports of smoking behavior, as assessed by IVR and TLFB. Compliance with the TLFB was superior to compliance with the IVR system. This problem should be addressed if researchers wish to use an IVR system in future smoking cessation clinical trials. Keywordsinteractive voice response; timeline follow-back; smoking; tobacco Long-term abstinence, as measured by point prevalence assessments of smoking behavior, has traditionally been the most common outcome variable used in smoking cessation clinical trials (Fiore et al., 2000;Piasecki & Baker, 2001;Velicer, Norman, Fava, & Prochaska, 1999;Velicer, Prochaska, Rossi, & Snow, 1992). Although point prevalence smoking abstinence is a useful outcome measure, several alternatives have recently been proposed. Reduction in the rate of smoking behavior as an alternative outcome in harm reduction smoking studies (see, e.g., Hughes, 2000, for a review) appears to be a promising approach that will likely receive further study, and in such studies an assessment of daily smoking behavior for the duration of study participation would be preferable to point prevalence measures. The Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) formed a work group to review the literature on measures of abstinence in smoking cessation clinical trials (Hughes et al., 2003). In this comprehensive review, the work group's final recommendation was that researchers conducting clinical trials should report multiple measures of abstinence. Clearly, these researchers are advocating that several measures of abstinence be reported in lieu of solely point prevalence, and in these instances (e.g., prolonged abstinence) it would be preferable to measure daily reports of smoking behavior. Daily reporting of smoking may provide a more valid assessment of behavior than longer retrospective reports because it involves reporting over a shorter time period. Shiffman et al.(1997) conducted a study focusing on assessments of cigarette consumption and smoking lapse behavior (e.g., mood ratings) in which comparisons were made between real-time reports on hand-held computers and retrospective accounts provided after 12 weeks. In this study, participants' recall of lapses was poor, and they overestimated their negative affect and the number of cigarettes smoked during a lapse. Shiffman et al. (1997) suggested that caution be used with retrospective recall in research.Interactive voice response (IVR) technology has been shown to reliably assess a variety of daily behaviors (Piette, 2000).
