Preventing alcohol-exposed pregnancies among Hispanic women
Project Healthy CHOICES, a self-administered, mail-based prevention intervention, was developed for women at risk of an alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP). Participants were sent their assessment and study materials through the United States Postal Service. This article uses data from a larger study (N = 354) and focuses on the 89 women who identified as Hispanic. Potential participants who called in response to English and Spanish ads and who said …
Evaluating alcohol use among Russian women at risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy
The Quick Drinking Screen (QDS) and Timeline Followback (TLFB), measures of alcohol use, have yielded similar reports of drinking with English speakers. The present study, a secondary data analysis, compared three measures of alcohol use (i.e., QDS, TLFB, and AUDIT) among Russian-speaking women. This is the first study to compare all three measures. This study replicated the findings of studies with English speakers and demonstrated that brief sc…
Reliability of the Timeline Followback for cocaine, cannabis, and cigarette use.
The Timeline Followback (TLFB), a retrospective calendar-based measure of daily substance use, was initially developed to obtain self-reports of alcohol use. Since its inception it has undergone extensive evaluation across diverse populations and is considered the most psychometrically sound self-report measure of drinking. Although the TLFB has been extended to other behaviors, its psychometric evaluation with other addictive behaviors has not b…
Obstacles to the adoption of low risk drinking goals in the treatment of alcohol problems in the United States
Although moderation and harm reduction approaches to the treatment of alcohol problems are accepted in many parts of the world, they continue to be rare in the US. A major reason for this state of affairs has to do with the way alcohol treatment services in the US developed, and in particular the creation of a group of paraprofessional counselors many of whom attributed their recovery to the 12-step philosophy. While it is unlikely that these cou…
Family Medicine Residents’ Performance with Detected Versus Undetected Simulated Patients Posing as Problem Drinkers
Multi-clinic studies involving residents experienced with SPs should ensure that the SP role and behavior conform to physician expectations and the demographics of the clinic. SP station testing does not accurately reflect physicians' actual clinical behavior and should not be relied on as the primary method of evaluation. The study also suggests that physicians' poor performance in identifying and managing alcohol problems is not entirely due to…
Natural recovery from alcohol and drug problems
Aims. The methodology of studies that reported data on individuals who recovered from an alcohol or other drug problem (cigarette smokers were excluded) without formal help or treatment were reviewed. Design/ measurements. Potential studies were identified (a) through computerized literature searches, (b) by reviewing references from key publications and (c) by correspondence with researchers in the field. Studies had to (a) be in English, (b) be…

Recovery from alcohol problems with and without treatment
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of recovery from alcohol problems with and without treatment, including whether such recoveries involved abstinence or moderate drinking. METHODS. Data from two surveys of randomly selected adults in the general population were analyzed. Random-digit dialing was used to conduct telephone interviews with 11,634 and 1034 respondents. Respondents 20 years of age or older were cate…
Timeline Follow-Back
Although the measurement of drinking is necessary for assessing and evaluating the treatment of alcohol problems, this key dependent variable has not always been reported in outcome studies.1–3 Today, the issue is not whether to measure drinking, but how to measure drinking. Concerns about how best to measure drinking patterns and problems date back to at least 1926, when Pearl stressed the importance of separating steady daily drinkers from occa…

Halfway Houses for Alcoholics
Eight halfway houses for alcoholics were surveyed and compared to other halfway houses for alcoholics, and halfway houses for the non-alcoholic mentally ill, as described in previous studies. The halfway houses for alcoholics surveyed in the present report may be separated into two principal groups: (a) a self-supporting profit-oriented type with an autonomous owner-operator, and (b) a board-controlled and supported type usually receiving group o…
Validity of Self-Reports of Alcohol-Related Arrests by Alcoholics
Comparison of official records with self-reports of arrests for public drunkenness and driving while intoxicated indicated that self-reports are accurate enough to be used as a primary information source
The Erudite Transient
Followed a male alcoholic transient for 2 yrs, during which he was incarcerated in 61 hospital and jail facilities at a cost of $11,543. The most costly incarcerations occurred at hospitals in large cities. An interview with the S revealed how he functionally utilized his transient life style. Considering the high cost of processing the alcoholic through the "revolving door," a new rehabilitation method is proposed-socialization, rather than reso…
Alcoholics Name Fewer Mixed Drinks than Social Drinkers
Gamma alcoholics ( N = 25) were found to be deficient in a basic response repertoire for names of types of mixed alcoholic drinks as compared with a matched sample of social drinkers ( N = 25) and a sample of alcoholic bartenders ( N = 10). The deficiency is interpreted as a learning deficit
