2 variable assessments

ALD240

Evidence developinglow confidence

Questionnaire

The next questions are about alcoholic beverages. When answering think about {your/SP's} use over the past 30 days. How often did {you/SP} drink beer or lite beer?

Source releases: 1
Available cycles: 1999-2000
Dataset: Diet Behavior & Nutrition

No normalized longitudinal change evidence is available for this variable. Absence of events must not be interpreted as proof of cross-cycle equivalence.

ALQ160

Compatible with harmonizationmoderate confidence

Questionnaire

During the past 30 days, how many times did {you/SP} drink {DISPLAY NUMBER} or more drinks of any kind of alcohol in about two hours?

Source releases: 2
Available cycles: 2013-2014 · 2015-2016
Dataset: Alcohol Use

No blocking method discontinuity is identified inside the selected cycle span, but one or more longitudinal changes require explicit harmonization conditions before pooling.
