Abstract
The Health Insurance Records of 32 male alcoholics were related to outcome after 2 years, with regard to drinking habits, self-esteem, social stability and Temperance Board registrations. The numbers of sickness benefit days were found significantly related to drinking habits (p p p p p p <0.05) during the follow-up period but not to drinking habits or self-esteem. No relationship was found between the number of sickness benefit days during this 5-year period and the follow-up period. It is concluded that Health Insurance Records are of use in follow-up studies on alcoholics.
