Timeline FollowBack (TLFB) - User's Guide

Linda C. Sobell and Mark B. Sobell

More than 20 years of use and testing have shown that the Timeline FollowBack (TLFB) is an effective tool for measuring alcohol use. The detailed information generated by the TLFB helps people better understand their drinking, which can motivate change. The TLFB can also be used to collect information about marijuana, tobacco and other drug use.

Also available is the Timeline FollowBack video, which demonstrates the techniques professional researchers and clinicians need to conduct TLFB interviews and help people recall alcohol or other drug use over a specific period.

Includes paper-and-pencil version of the Timeline FollowBack calendar method.
