| Abstract | The present report describes the status of the NHTSA Short Term Rehabilitation Study (STR) as of December, 1977, and summarizes the progress of data collection efforts by the eleven participating ASAP projects. Outcome measures considered as indicative of treatment program effects include: (1) indices of accident and arrest recidivism reflective of the accomplishment of direct traffic safety objectives; (2) direct measures of drinking/alcohol ingestion comparable to criteria employed in NIAAA assessments of treatment programs, and (3) two sets of factor analytically derived scales designed to assess client status in a number of life adjustment dimensions. Site reported characteristics of STR treatment programs are used to configure a number of quasi-experimental program level designs which pool data from the several STR sites. Designs permitting assessment of the effects of alcohol safety schools, PMT, and a variety of structural treatment variations are reported. The results of interim STR effectiveness analyses within eight separate program level designs show no consistent evidence of treatment effect for any of the treatment groupings considered. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
