Description
Summary:A four group randomized control study designed to investigate the reactive effects of follow-up interviews and self-monitoring procedures on the self-reported drinking patterns of treated alcoholics failed to demonstrate any such effects.

Limitations on the conclusions that can be drawn are discussed.
