45. Assessment issues and strategies in alcoholism treatment matching research.

Author

Connors, G J, Allen, J P, Cooney, N L, DiClemente, C C, Tonigan, J S, and Anton, R F

Abstract

Sensitive and comprehensive client assessment entails complex conceptual and methodological considerations. Such activity is at the heart of matching clients to appropriate treatments. This article begins by specifying the goals and functions of assessment to support matching. This is followed by a discussion of the strategies employed in Project MATCH to identify matching and outcome variables. The assessment battery used in Project MATCH is next described. Finally, an overview of issues surrounding administration of assessment measures is provided. Particular attention is given to the topics of sequencing and timing of measures.

46. Multisite clinical trials in alcoholism treatment research: organizational, methodological and management issues.

Author

Fuller, R K, Mattson, M E, Allen, J P, Randall, C L, Anton, R F, and Babor, T F

Abstract

Multisite clinical trials have two major advantages over single-site studies: the large sample size of multisite studies allows for adequate statistical power and better representativeness of the population being studied. However, they are more complex to implement than single-site studies. This article reviews previous multisite clinical trials of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, reasons for selecting a multisite design, management of such studies, and some statistical issues.

48. Issues in the definition and measurement of drinking outcomes in alcoholism treatment research.

Author

Babor, T F, Longabaugh, R, Zweben, A, Fuller, R K, Stout, R L, Anton, R F, and Randall, C L

Abstract

This article reviews methodological and conceptual issues regarding the choice of drinking outcome measures in alcoholism treatment research. The following issues are discussed: Should drinking outcomes be conceptualized in terms of an underlying unitary disorder, or should provision be made for independent outcomes that cover a wide variety of dimensions? Which drinking outcomes are typically measured in treatment evaluation studies and how are they operationalized? What are the empirical associations among drinking outcome measures? If multiple outcomes are measured, which should be given primary importance? Over what period of time should treatment outcome be evaluated? What procedures can be used to detect, correct or prevent the response bias associated with verbal report methods? Because outcome measures need to fit the hypotheses and practical needs of a particular study, it is unlikely that complete standardization can be achieved across all studies. Nevertheless, given the importance of drinking outcomes and the need for economy, two primary dependent measures are recommended: (1) proportion of available drinking days abstinent; and (2) intensity of drinking, as defined by the total amount consumed (in ounces absolute alcohol) during the follow-up period divided by the number of actual drinking days. This article also proposes a strategy that may help to guide the selection of outcome measures in future research.
