Abstract

Continued and frequent contact with alcoholics after hospitalization apparently leads to a low attrition rate, reliable data, and additional treatment effects, which is not typical if follow-up is viewed narrowly from a traditional experimental frame of reference. Only when the alternative understanding of follow-up presented in this paper is adopted are treatment effects maximized and reliable self-reports for all Ss obtained.
