Short-Form Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire (SADD)

The following questions cover a wide range of topics to do with drinking. Please read each question carefully but do not think too much about its exact meaning. Think about your MOST RECENT drinking habits and answer each question by filling in the box under the MOST APPROPRIATE heading-each question can be answered as "Never, Sometimes, Often, or Nearly Always." If you have any difficulties, ASK FOR HELP.

15. Do you go drinking and next day find you have forgotten what happened the night before? Scoring The 15 items sum for a total score that can range from 0 to 45. Scale totals are interpreted as follows: 1-9 low dependence, 10-19 medium dependence, and 20 or greater high dependence.

Situational Confidence Questionnaire (SCQ)

The SCQ-39 (Annis and Graham 1988), is a 39-item self-report
questionnaire designed to assess Bandura's concept of self-
efficacy for alcohol-related situations. Clients are asked to
imagine themselves in a variety of types of situations, derived
from the work of Marlatt and Gordon (1980). For each situa-
tion, they are to indicate on a six-point scale (ranging from 0,
not at all confident; 20, 20-percent confident; 40, 40-percent
confident; to 60, 60-percent confident; 80, 80-percent confi-
dent; to 100, very confident) how confident they are that they
will be able to resist the urge to drink heavily in that situation.
A client's responses on the SCQ-39 will allow you to monitor
the development of the client's self-efficacy in relation to
coping with specific drinking situations over the course of
treatment.

The SCQ profile of a client's confidence in being able to cope with eight types of high-risk drinking situations can serve to monitor a client's progress in treatment. As a client learns to cope better with high-risk situations for use of alcohol, drinking-related self-efficacy increases.

Research Applicability As a measure of drinking-related self-efficacy, the SCQ has been found to be a good predictor of treatment outcome.
