Dear Colleagues,
As a follow-up to the questions that I asked yesterday, I would like also to ask for suggestions for tests of alcohol consumption to use to evaluate treatment outcome.
The study involves using neurofeedback training as an add-on (or not) for patients who have undergone detoxification and are having outpatient treatment with alcohol counsellors. Thus, I am looking for a relatively simple (but, of course, valid and reliable) measure of alcohol consumption to use at various points following the intervention.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Miles Cox

Subject: Alcohol Consumption Outcome Measures
Dear Colleagues,
I would greatly appreciate any information about the following points:
Following abstinence-oriented treatment for alcohol dependence, what outcome measures of alcohol consumption are best to use? I am interested in both binary ("relapsed" or not) and continuous (quantity and frequency of drinking) outcome measures. In the case of a binary outcome, how should "relapse" be defined?
Searching PsycINFO, I have not been able to locate a good article that addresses these issues. Thus, I would also appreciate relevant references.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
Miles Cox
