“…Utilizing a population sample of adult male criminals, Guze et al [16] compared collateral reports with respondent reports on items of a 'Jellinek alcoholism scale'. Like Skoloda et al [5] Guze et al found that most of the disagreement stemmed from the respondents' positive responses and the relatives' negative responses on the scale. That is, the respondents tended to present themselves as having a higher prevalence of problems than their collaterals revealed.…”

“…Sixteen studies which used collateral reports to validate self-reports are presented in Table 1 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Within the clinical studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], the findings generally indicated a high degree of agreement between patients and collaterals with no Overall, self-reports and collateral reports were significantly correlated.…”

However, Gerard and Saenger [3] and Edwards et al [4] reported a tendency for clients to present themselves in a more positive way than their partners, yet Skoloda et al [5] found the opposite phenomenon. Explanations presented for such discrepancies include the specific type of information being elicited by the questionnaire item and the frequency of contact between the respondent and collateral [6].…”

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 easily than drinking patterns measured in drinking practices surveys (as evidenced by coverage rates of surveys to sales statistics ranging from 40-60%). In addition, collateral reports by significant others do not necessarily yield better information on consumption. In the area of alcohol problems, only a few, highly 'visible' problems can realistically be validated. Thus, the reporting of drinking driving arrests can be better validated than tremors or other physical manifestations. It is concluded that more emphasis should be placed on developing new ways to validate alcohol consumption and alcohol problems so that researchers can continue to refine their data collection techniques in order to maintain confidence in their findings.

“…When unable to interview the alcoholic for follow-up, Skoloda, Alterman, Cornelison, and Gottheil (1975) obtained follow-up data from a person familiar with the subject's behavior. Because the authors were concerned about the validity of combining these two data sources, they conducted a separate analysis of eight cases where responses were available both from the subject and collateral.…”

Giving ethanol to alcoholics in a research setting: its effect on compliance with disulfiram treatment

In order to evaluate the effect of experimental ethanol administration on disulfiram compliance, a 6-month follow-up study was conducted with inpatient alcoholics. Two groups of patients were studied. Though not randomly assigned, the groups were matched on a variety of demographic and alcoholic-related variables. One group (N = 15) received ethanol in a laboratory-based study while the other group (N = 21) underwent treatment as usual. Days of disulfiram use did not differ between groups at follow-up. Studies concerning compliance with disulfiram support the validity of this measure as an indicator of treatment outcome. Our findings are consistent with other studies of the effect of experimental administration of ethanol to alcoholics, in that there were no immediate adverse effects and treatment outcome did not appear to suffer as a consequence of ethanol exposure.
