Abstract
Assessment of clinical behavior was neglected in evaluating alcohol training for professionals. Inclusion of a systematic drinking history in patient charts provides a sensitive yet simple behavioral marker. At Boston [Massachusetts, USA] City Hospital, a 10-Question Drinking History (TQDH) was incorporated into a prenatal intake procedure and used to monitor staff behavior. Utilization of the TQDH, measured for 6 time periods, ranged from 92-33%. obstetrical staff was more likely to complete the TQDH when the alcoholism research staff was visible in the clinic and readily available for consultation and referral.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
