结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of Heavy Drinking Days
时间窗: 12 weeks
Percentage of heavy drinking days was defined as days with ≥5 standard drinks for men and ≥4 standard drinks for women assessed by Alcohol Timeline Follow Back (TLFB) method. The Alcohol TLFB is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking by means of an interview between investigator and participant. The TLFB assesses recent drinking behavior. On the TLFB, clients retrospectively estimate their daily alcohol consumption in standard drinks over a time period prior to the interview, and thus the measure provides quantitative estimates of alcohol use. A drink is standardized to an equivalent to 25-30 cL of beer or wine coolers (5% alcohol), 12-15 cL of table wine (11-14% alcohol) and 4-6 cL of hard liquor/spirits (35-40% alcohol). Percentage was calculated based on number of heavy drinking days divided by total number of days in the given 2-week interval.
