Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, State Version (STAI-S) The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, State Version (STAI-S) is a 20-item self-report questionnaire which assesses state (i.e., current) anxiety. Participants are asked to rate the frequency with which they experience a variety of anxiety symptoms (e.g., "I feel nervous and restless") on a 4-point scale (1 = almost never to 4 = almost always). Total scores (range = 20-80) are computed by summing individual item scores; higher scores indicate higher state anxiety.
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, State Version (STAI-S) will be used to measure manifest anxiety among participants 5 minutes before, and 5 minutes after, the alcohol administration. We will specifically measure changes in manifest anxiety from pre- to post-alcohol administration by subtracting the participant's score on the STAI-S after the alcohol administration from the participant's score on the STAI-S before the alcohol administration.
5 minutes before alcohol administration, and 5 minutes after alcohol administration.
Primary Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ) Urge to drink will be measured using the internally consistent, reliable, and well-validated Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ), an 8-item measure of state (current) urge to drink alcohol. Items are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 = "strongly disagree" to 7 = "strongly agree." A total score is computed by adding responses to each of the items. Higher scores indicate a stronger urge to drink.
The Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ) will be used to measure urge to drink among participants at 5 minutes before, and 5 minutes after, the alcohol administration. We will specifically measure changes in urge to drink from pre- to post-alcohol administration by subtracting the participant's score on the AUQ post-alcohol administration from the participant's score on the AUQ pre-alcohol administration.
5 minutes before alcohol administration, and 5 minutes after alcohol administration.
Primary Amount of alcohol consumed in "standard drinks" (0.6 oz. ethanol equivalents, 12 oz. U.S. domestic beer, 5 oz. 12% alcohol table wine, 1.5 oz. 80-proof hard liquor) Amount of alcohol consumed in "standard drinks" (0.6 oz. ethanol equivalents, 12 oz. U.S. domestic beer, 5 oz. 12% alcohol table wine, 1.5 oz. 80-proof hard liquor) will be estimated for each participant. 5 minutes after participating in the stressor task.
Secondary Kulis, Marsiglia & Nieri's (2009) Substance Use Attitudes/Expectancies Scale We will examine participants' Substance Use Attitudes and Expectancies 5 minutes before the intervention using Kulis, Marsiglia & Nieri's (2009) Substance Use Attitudes/Expectancies Scale. The scale contains 12 items, rated from 1 = "definitely no" to 4 = "definitely yes." Total scores are computed by averaging responses across items. Higher scores indicate more frequent pro-drug attitudes. 5 minutes before alcohol administration.
