Inpatient alcoholics (N = 145) were followed at 6-month intervals for 18 months postdischarge. The drinking outcomes were compared based on overall degree of AA attendance. Results did indicate higher percentages of abstinence for AA attenders, but only at 18 months. AA attenders also indicated fewer days drinking during the first 6 months, with fewer days drunk for AA attenders at 18 months. Those subjects attending AA for the entire 18 months reported a total abstinence rate of 50%.
对145名住院酗酒者在出院后每隔6个月进行了为期18个月的跟踪。根据参加戒酒互助会(AA)的总体程度对饮酒结果进行了比较。结果确实表明,参加AA者的戒酒比例更高,但仅在18个月时如此。参加AA者在前6个月饮酒的天数也更少,在18个月时醉酒的天数也更少。那些在整个18个月都参加AA的受试者报告的完全戒酒率为50%。
