The Alcohol Sensitivity Questionnaire is a survey that assesses a large number of alcohol effects.
ITEM CODING
The ASQ consists of 15 items that are rated Yes or No.
Items 1-6 reflect “heavy drinking” questions. If a participant answers “Yes” to any of these items, they are asked a follow-up question about the maximum number of drinks the person could consume without experiencing that effect.
Items 7-15 reflect “light drinking” questions. If a participant answers “Yes” to any of these items, they are asked a follow-up question about the minimum number of drinks the person could consume before experiencing that effect.
FACTORS
The AEI yields 2 primary factors. Description of the factors and item loadings are found within the reference article (below). No items are reverse scored.
