摘要
An exhaustive test-ietest reliability study was made of the intake interview used by Abraxas' residential drug program. The study is notable in that (1) 143 wide-ranging questionnaire variables were examined, (2) all tested clients were under court pressure, and (3) the second interview was given after an average of 8 months in treatment. Reliability coefficients for 50% of the 143 items were found to be >70, 83 were >50, and the lowest coefficient recorded was. 24. Although the clients tended to suppress some sensitive material in the first interview, it was concluded that considerable self-reported information can be obtained from court-stipulated clients within a few days after admission. © 1979 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
