Abstract
The Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ) was developed during the 1973-1974 academic year as part of an alcohol awareness educational program at Indiana University called "Booze and You’s." Since it is frequently used by academics and students for research and classroom projects, an updated reliability was considered important. In 1990-1991, a sample of 6,534 students attending 104 different colleges and universities as part of a long term study with David J. Hanson, was used to test the reliability. Results revealed that the reliabilities of the Quantity/Frequency of drinking, Problems Resulting from Drinking, and Knowledge of Alcohol scales of the Student Alcohol Questionnaire were still highly reliable. The Spearman-Brown reliability coefficients of the subscales were .84, .89, .85, respectively. Values of the Cronbach alpha for the three subscales were .86, .92, .86, respectively.
