The authors designed a low-cost evaluation study to examine outcome on an alcoholism specialty unit of a private psychiatric hospital as well as to look at the effects of several post-treatment therapies. Using conservative criteria for good outcome, and accounting for the expected poorer outcome of non-respondents, they found that the program achieved a 58 percent success rate. Use of Alcoholics Anonymous and a covert sensitization exercise developed especially for the program were associated with better outcome in terms of drinking behavior post-hospitalization. It should not be difficult to conduct a similar study in other treatment settings with a low research budget.
作者设计了一项低成本评估研究，以考察一家私立精神病医院戒酒专科病房的治疗效果，同时研究几种治疗后疗法的效果。他们采用保守的良好治疗效果标准，并考虑到无反应者预期较差的治疗效果，发现该项目的成功率为58%。参加戒酒互助会以及采用专门为该项目开发的隐蔽致敏训练，在出院后的饮酒行为方面与更好的治疗效果相关。在其他治疗环境中，以较低的研究预算开展类似研究应该不难。
