PROGRAM LEVEL EVALUATION OF ASAP DIAGNOSIS, REFERRAL AND REHABILITATION EFFORTS. VOLUME IV. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SHORT TERM REHABILITATION (STR) STUDY

The present report discusses the development, implementation, and current status of the Short Term Rehabilitation (STR) Study initiated by the NHTSA in 1974. Experimental designs employed by each of the 11 ASAP/STR sites for the assignment of mid-range problem drinker drivers to STR treatment or control groups are described. Preliminary analyses designed to provide a set of life change criteria for use in assessing the effectiveness of STR rehabilitation modalities are presented. These analyses have been applied to the Life Activities Interview to yield five life status factors including: Alcohol Use, Income/Employment, Socialization/Social Activity, Family/Marital Status, and Physical Health Factors. Scales of the Current Status Questionnaire (CSQ) and Personality Assessment Survey (PAS) instruments are also presented.
