The Validity of Self‐Reported Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol Problems: A Literature Review

Abstract: The literature on the validity of self-reported alcohol consumption and alcohol problems was reviewed. Studies done in this area were analyzed by type of sample, by specific behaviour which was validated and by criterion chosen as the standard to which the behaviour would be compared. Despite the usual conclusion of validity studies that self-reports are basically valid, variation exists depending upon what is being validated and how its accuracy is measured. Recent reports of consumption are validated more ea… Show more

“…It is a long tradition in Denmark always to include information about alcohol consumption in patient files. Self-reported alcohol consumption has been found to be sufficient to rank patients' intake (Midanik 1982, Longnecker et al 1992, Gr@nbaek and Heitmann 1997. Our study indicates that alcoholism is not a strong predisposing factor.…”

“…Cette relation signifie que les personnes abstinentes et les plus grands consommateurs seraient en moins bonne santé, tandis que les consommateurs modérés seraient en meilleure santé (Ashley et al, 1994 ;Colsher et Wallace, 1989). Cependant, la relation entre l'autoévaluation de l'état de santé et la consommation abusive de substances psychoactives n'est pas claire, étant donné que les manifestations de l'abus sont davantage d'ordre psychologique que physique, et que le phénomène du déni pourrait toucher particulièrement les grands consommateurs (Midanik, 1982). La forme de la relation entre les accidents de toutes sortes entraînant des blessures et la consommation d'alcool est moins bien connue, même s'il est clair que l'alcool est souvent en cause dans les accidents routiers, domestiques et de travail (Honkanen, 1993 ;Colsher et Wallace, 1989, Smith et Krauss, 1988.…”

“…Les statistiques officielles tracent donc un portrait partiel de la consommation. Les grandes enquêtes, comme l'Enquête sociale et de santé, ne donnent pas une image exhaustive non plus ; Duffy et Alanko (1992) ainsi que Midanik (1982) rapportent que seulement 40% à 60% des volumes vendus officiellement sont déclarés dans le cadre d'une enquête sur la consommation. Les quantités rapportées par les personnes interviewées sont donc sous-estimées.…”
