    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.

    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.

    Combined data files from Engs and Hanson 1982-1994 for student alcohol behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes.
    (2021) Engs, Ruth Clifford
    This data set includes data from five time periods collected by Engs and David J. Hanson of SUNY, Potsdam, NY. Over five time periods beginning in 1982 an extending into 1995 data were collected from students around the United States at various colleges and universities. Colleges were selected to represent the proportions of students attending four-year institutions of higher learning based on the “Yearbook of Higher Education” in terms of public or private (religiously affiliated as well as non-affiliated) ethnic mixtures, enrollments over and under 10,000, location in various community sizes (under 100,000, 100¬500 thousand, over 500 thousand) and from all 50 states...CAVEAT: databases were uploaded to IUScholarworks repository years after they were actively being used. Therefore, in some cases variables are unknown when compared to the few questionnaires and SPSS Mainframe programs still in existence. Research with these databases was primarily accomplished from the mid-1970s through mid-1990s. Samples of paper material concerning these studies are found in the IU Archives in the Ruth Clifford Engs collection.

    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
