THE HEALTH CONCERN QUESTIONNAIRE (1987) and 1971
(1970) Engs, Ruth Clifford
The 50 item HEALTH CONCERN QUESTIONNAIRE was first created as a master’s thesis at the University of Oregon in 1970. The items were obtained from a literature review and those suggested by students in a personal health class. This instrument contains 50 items pertaining to health issues for which college students college students had concerns. Subjects were requests to indicate their degree of concern for each item using a 5 point Likert scale. In 1987 the questionnaire was revised. The revised questionnaire was included with the "Student Alcohol Questionnaire and the CODE" questionnaire for test-retest reliability and for testing hypotheses concerning health concerns, codependency, and alcohol related behaviors.
STUDENT ALCOHOL QUESTIONNAIRE (SAQ), 1975
(1975) Engs, Ruth Clifford
The Student Alcohol Questionnaire was created as part of the Indiana University’s mid-1970s alcohol education program Booze and You’s. The first version of the questionnaire was typed on 7 pages. It entitled: “SAQOriginal75.pdf” and contains 2 items concerning parental drinking which were omitted from other versions of the instrument and from the first national study of student drinking and knowledge of alcohol. The second version was “offset printed” in the late 1970s on 4 pages. It is entitled: “SAQClassic75.pdf.” This version has 8 spaces for “office use only” at the top in which region of the country, school code or other variables can be entered. It is recommended that this “CLASSIC VERSION” of the SAQ be duplicated for research on college student drinking patterns. Numerous publications using this questionnaire can be found in a literature search from the late 1970 onwards. It has been translated in to several languages including Chinese, Polish, Romanian and Spanish to name a few.
QUEENSLAND ALCOHOL AND DRUG STUDY QUESTIONNAIRE

Australia Research Dataset: Drinking Patterns and Attitudes towards Alcoholism
(1980) Engs, Ruth Clifford
R. Engs collected the data while on sabbatical at the University of Queensland, Australia (Jan - May 1980). Questionnaires were administered in Queensland, at various colleges and universities, to “helping profession” students: social work, medicine, nursing, seminary, police, psychology, etc. The data are for the Queensland version of the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (available at http://hdl.handle.net/2022/17141). This version of the questionnaire differs from other versions in that it uses Australian spelling and measurements to calculate alcohol content in wine, beer, and spirits. it also includes other drug use. The Tolor-Tamerin scale for attitudes towards alcoholism was also used but due to copyright issues is not included in the questionnaire or calculations and scoring. Calculations and scoring are included on this site. Calculations and scoring in addition to information concerning the reliability of the instrument are found at: http://hdl.handle.net/2022/17185
STUDENT ALCOHOL QUESTIONNAIRE and the ALCOHOL ATTITUDE QUESTIONNAIRE (1981, 1993)
(1981, 1993) Engs, Ruth Clifford
The 1981 questionnaire was used to collect data from a national sample of college and university students during the 1981-1982, 1984-5, 1987-88, and 1990-90 academic years. The 1981 version of the SAQ contains the same 8 demographic variables, 6 drinking patterns, 17 problems related to alcohol, 36 items pertaining to knowledge of alcohol as were found on Engs' 1975 questionnaire. In addition, it adds Hanson's 1971 12 item attitude scale. The 1993 version adds two smoking and three drinking related behaviors including playing a drinking game, using a fake ID, and non-consensual sex or "rape."

Data Files for Development of the Codependency (CODE) Scale
(Indiana University, 1987) Engs, Ruth Clifford; Anderson, David S.
During 1986 to 1988, the CODE scale was developed to investigate the codependency, or “positive family background for a parent or grandparent who sometimes or often drank too much” status of student. When the scale is administered it is entitled the “Feelings Check List.” For the development of the CODE, 63 items common to “co-dependents” were used for initial evaluation based upon a literature search of characteristics of families with a history of problem drinking or alcoholism. The instrument was compiled and reliability was determined by administrating the questionnaire to students at four universities. After elimination of items due to non-significant differences between co- and non-co-dependents or items with reliability less than .3, eleven items remained. For these 11 items, a mean score was determined for each individual. Factor analysis revealed two factors which accounted for 59% of the variance. Since the reliability between both factors was .8, it was decided that one factor could be used for a total score.
STUDENT ALCOHOL QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE CODE (1987)
(1987) Engs, Ruth Clifford
This 1987 questionnaire (SAQ_ CODE87.pdf) contains scales for several studies.It contains drinking behaviors, problems related to drinking, knowledge of alcohol, and CODE scales It was used to: 1); compare Ontario Canadian and Midwestern American students drinking patterns and behaviors in addition to other drug use. 2) to assess the behavior and knowledge of a national sample of American students as part of an ongoing study using the classic SAQ items. The SAQ_ HCQ_CODE87Quest Dev.pdf has attached to it the HCQ and CODE instrument. This research questionnaire contains the Health Concerns and codependency scales. It was used 1) to determine updated reliability of the Health Concern Questionnaire (HCQ); 2) and the CODE.
THE CODE QUESTIONNAIRE (1988)
(1988) Engs, Ruth Clifford; Anderson, David
The CODE checklist checks for codependency, or “positive family background for a parent or grandparent who sometimes or often drank too much” status of students was developed. When the scale is administered it is entitled the “Feelings Check List.” For the development of the CODE, 63 items common to “co-dependents” were used for initial evaluation based upon a literature search of characteristics of families with a history of problem drinking or alcoholism. Item reliability using the Pearson correlation coefficient between each item and family background status was performed. A t test was accomplished between students with positive and negative family background for each item which was considered one standard deviation above and below the mean. Reliability over time using a test-retest was determined for each item. Eleven items remained after elimination of the others due to non-significant t test or correlation coefficient less than .3. A factor analysis identified one factor. The Cronbach alpha test for homogeneity resulted in an alpha of .89 and Spearman-Brown split-half technique revealed the reliability coefficient of the questionnaire to be .87. .After reliability tests and factor analysis, 11 item were selected for the final version which can be used as a “stand alone” scale or embedded in other questionnaires. When the test is administered, the student is instructed to answer degree of agreement with each item on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 4. The answers for all 11 items are then summed to obtain a mean score for each subject. However, no relationship between high scores and drinking patterns emerged in another study (http://hdl.handle.net/2022/17453 ) although the scale does identify individuals with co-dependency.
STUDENT HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE QUESTIONNAIRE

In 1994, the UK version of the Student Alcohol and Drug Questionnaire" were distributed and collected by Engs in Scotland at four major universities. During that same year, questionnaires were completed by American students in the United States.
Engs national data sets of student drinking 1975-1994
(2021) Engs, Ruth Clifford
From 1975 through 1994, Engs collected data from students in health classes using the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ) around the nation. In the later years other scales were added such as the Codependency Scale (CODE) and the Student Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire (SHLS) to gain additional material to test hypotheses concerning alcohol, drugs and other variables. Engs databases were also used with other co-authors to test different hypotheses internationally and nationally. These latter studies included the development of the Codependency check list (CODE), and comparison with students from Australian, Scottish, Canadian, and Polish universities. They were also used to test hypotheses concerning drinking and illness, stress, exercise and lifestyles.
