The accuracy of drug counselors' knowledge of their clients' drug use was assessed to determine whether counselor reports might constitute adequate research and evaluation data. Ex-addict paraprofessionals, non-ex-addict paraprofessionals, and degreed professional counselors (N = 82) reported on the drug use by 302 methadone maintenance and drug-free outpatient clients, as did the clients themselves. Counselor nonresponse rates to individual drug category items were acceptably low (less than or equal to 5%) for all but marijuana/hashish and over-the-counter drugs. Counselors' estimates of drug use rates at a group level were relatively accurate. However, reliability coefficients reflecting accuracy on a case-by-case basis were lower than desirable for use in prediction schemes for individual clients. Ex-addicts were overall somewhat more accurate than the other counselor groups.
评估了药物顾问对其客户药物使用情况的了解准确性，以确定顾问报告是否可能构成足够的研究和评估数据。前成瘾者辅助专业人员、非前成瘾者辅助专业人员和有学位的专业顾问（N = 82）报告了302名美沙酮维持治疗和戒毒门诊客户的药物使用情况，客户自己也进行了报告。除大麻/哈希什和非处方药外，顾问对各个药物类别项目的无应答率低至可接受水平（小于或等于5%）。顾问对群体层面药物使用率的估计相对准确。然而，反映个案准确性的信度系数低于用于个体客户预测方案的理想水平。总体而言，前成瘾者比其他顾问群体的准确性略高。
