Abstract:HSRI, under Contract FH-11-7615 with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), developed, during 1970 and 1971, a set of procedures for identifying problem drinkers. They were intended for use in a court setting, such as a pre-sentence investigation, but they are gener ally applicable in a wide range of settings. An objective was that they be usable by persons not having a great deal of prior experience or expertise in diagnosing problem drinkers, and we believe this objective has been substantially achieved. This manual contains the questionnaire, the interview protocol, and other recommended practices for identifying problem drink ers. It is the document which is ordinarily used directly by court workers and other "diagnosticians." Two versions of this have been produced, both bearing the same cover and date. The contents of both versions are essentially the same; the newer version contains suggested coding numbers for the questionnaire and interview and a revised "Questionnaire and Interview Summary Sheet." The two documents are readily distinguishable in that the newer version contains sixty-two (62) pages while the older version contains sixty-one (61) pages. The older version should be replaced and subsequently destroyed. /Abstract from report summary page/
