Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Aims: The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility and usability of daily retrospective assessments of alcohol use using handheld computers and to explore their comparability to Timeline Followback (TLFB) assessments. Methods: College student participants received a Handheld Assessment Tool (HAT) at enrolment, which surveyed alcohol consumption and contextual factors for the previous day. After 1 week of daily monitoring, participants completed a paper-and-pencil TLFB assessment and HAT usability scale. Results: Of the 1,800 matched data points on the HAT and TLFB, the overall level of agreement was very good (kappa = 0.80, p<0.001). The mean difference between the number of drinks per drinking days recorded using both methods was 0.19 (SD = 0.56). Participants completed HAT surveys on 87 out of 91 total possible survey days (95.6%). The HAT recorded 34 drinking days and the TLFB recorded 37 out the 91 possible days; the HAT was reported to be highly usable by all participants. Conclusion: Overall, the HAT was found to be usable and feasible and produced high adherence. Further research should validate this alcohol assessment approach and apply it to representative populations.
