SummaryWe have described the project on which this follow‐up is based. We have indicated some of the problems we have had to overcome in implementing a single follow‐up for the several distinct phases of 10 years of counseling alcoholics and their non‐alcoholic spouses. We have described the procedures, results and problems of our follow‐up attempts. In critically evaluating the problems we met and the ways in which we have coped with them, we have also indicated directions others might take to minimize such difficulties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
