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 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 believe this objective has been substantially achieved.
Volume 3: Scoring Keys contains a description of the manner in which the questionnaire and interview, either separately or in combination, are scored. The scoring procedure is straightforward and results in an arithmetic score which places the respondent in one of three categories: problem drinker, presumptive problem drinker, or non-problem drinker.
Two versions of this report have been produced, both having the same cover and date. The numbering of the questionnaire and interview of the newer version matches the changes made in the Manual: Volume 1, and recommended keypunching formats are also included. The newer version contains thirty-six (36) pages while the older version contains thirty-two (32) pages. The older version should be replaced and subsequently destroyed. /Abstract from report summary page/
