Abstract
A sample of 31 residents in an alcohol halfway house were evaluated upon admission and after a duration of time. An assessment of alcohol use, personality, and behavioral characteristics was conducted both initially and at the time of follow-up. The subjects were also compared based on the degree of successful outcome in the program. Differences between three outcome groups were found, indicating that the poor outcome group was younger, had a multiple-drug history, included more subjects who tended to drink with others, and had a greater number of blackouts while drinking. Suggestions for future research and a discussion of methodological difficulties are offered.
