Collection and Usage Attributes
Alcohol consumption is usually measured in standard drinks.

An Australian standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, which is equivalent to 12.5 millilitres of alcohol. The numbers of Australian standard drinks in common containers of various alcoholic beverages is presented in the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) 2009 guidelines.

This estimation is based on the person's description of the type (spirits, beer, wine, other) and number of standard drinks, as defined by the NHMRC, consumed per day. When calculating consumption in standard drinks per day, the total should be reported with part drinks recorded to the next whole standard drink (e.g. 2.4 = 3).
Queensland Perinatal Data Collection (QPDC):
This data element is only to be recorded if the response to the Female-alcohol consumption in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy indicator data element is code 2 Yes.
This data element is self-reported.

Recommended question: 'How many standard drinks did you consume on a typical day when drinking alcohol during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy?' where the first 20 weeks of pregnancy is defined as less than or equal to 19 weeks + 6 days.

To ensure consistency of results, this data element should be collected after the first 20 weeks of pregnancy.

For the national reporting of Female-number of standard drinks consumed when drinking alcohol in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy (NHDD) data element, the value domain of this data element is mapped as follows:
Code 998 Occasional drinking (less than one) is mapped to code 998 Occasional drinking (less than one)
Code 999 Not stated/inadequately described is mapped to code 999 Not stated/inadequately described.

For the national reporting of Female-number of standard drinks consumed when drinking alcohol in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy (NHDD) data element, the value 0 is assigned when the Female-alcohol consumption in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy indicator data element is code 1 No.
