Abstract:
A four group randomized control study designed to investigate the reactive effects of follow-up interviews and self-monitoring procedures on the self-reported drinking patterns of treated alcoholics failed to demonstrate any such effects. However, problems were experienced in gaining participation in frequent follow-up interviews and with the use of daily self-monitoring procedures. Limitations on the conclusions that can be drawn are discussed.
