Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The QFV 30 and the QFV 14 were developed from the Form 90, a structured interview to assess alcohol treatment outcomes. The QFV (Quantity-Frequency Variability) scales ask 3 questions, to assess the change in a person’s quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption over time.<\/p>\n

The scales specifically track change in (i) how many days of drinking during the time period; (ii) average drinks on days when a person was drinking; and (iii) the number of \u2018binge\u2019 days (defined as 5 or more drinks).<\/p>\n

Psychometric Properties<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Studies have evaluated the reliability and validity of the Form 90. The test showed good-to-excellent reliability for all key summary measures of alcohol consumption and psychosocial functioning, and most frequently used illicit drugs had moderate reliability. No decay in consistency of self-reported drinking was found at more distal points from dates of test-retest interviews.<\/p>\n

The Scale<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

All of these questions ask about your drinking\u00a0\u00a0DURING THE PAST 30 DAYS<\/strong>. For each question, please indicate the correct number in the space provided.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Question 2 and 3, any of the following counts as\u00a0\u00a0ONE DRINK:<\/p>\n

One glass (10 ounces) of beer<\/p>\n

One glass (4 ounces) of wine<\/p>\n

One ounce of liquor or other distilled spirits<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scoring<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This assessment asks about three important factors related to alcohol consumption: (1) drinking days, (2) average drinks, and (3) number of days consuming 5 or more drinks. The QFV is intended to track changes in these factors over time.<\/p>\n
