Expired alcohol level, used to estimate the blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
A 14-item scale for measuring the degree to which situations in one’s life are appraised as stressful. Items were designed to tap how unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded respondents find their lives. The scale also includes a number of direct queries about current levels of experienced stress. Moreover, the questions are of a general nature and hence are relatively free of content specific to any sub-population group.
A 32-item scale designed to measure cravings elicited by abstinence from cigarette smoking. Items in the scale were generated to represent four theoretically and clinically distinct conceptualizations of smoking urges: (1) desire to smoke, (2) anticipation of positive outcomes from smoking, (3) anticipation of relief from nicotine withdrawal or from withdrawal-associated negative affect, and (4) intention to smoke.
A self-report scale and an observer scale for examining the severity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms in a subject. Both scales rate the severity of four symptoms related to nicotine withdrawal: "angry/irritable/frustrated," "anxious/tense," "depressed," and "restless/impatient." The self-report scale adds several others that cannot be observed by outsiders.
