A survey of 20 industrial alcoholism and counseling programs run by railroad corporations covering 58 variables was made by semi-structured interviews of program directors, union officials, and by questionnaires applied to individual clients. Descriptions of program policy, practices, penetration rates, success rates, relationships to discipline and client population parameters are given along with other topical areas. A factor analysis and intercorrelations between all variables measured are also displayed.
