• 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 generally 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 bell eve this objective has been substantially achieved. Volume 2: Supplementary Readings provides a description of interviewer qualifications necessary to perform the prescribed tasks involved in the identification procedures, questions and answers on program philosophy, a rationale for selection of the questionnaire items, and a section describing the consequences of alcohol abuse. /Abstract from report summary page/
