本研究以十位慢性公共场所醉酒违法者为对象，探讨强化应变管理系统之短期效果。根据他们的清醒程度，通过贫民窟社区机构向慢性醉酒者提供所需的商品和服务。中毒导致所有商品和服务暂停五天。过量饮酒行为通过直接观察中毒和随机进行呼气酒精分析来评估。由于这种干预，受试者大大减少了他们的公共醉酒逮捕和他们的酒精消费量，并增加了他们的工作时间。在接受非或有服务的对照组中没有观察到这种变化。在保证广泛使用这一方法之前，需要进行一至两年而不是几个月的长期研究。
A reinforcement contingency management system for ten chronic public drunkenness offenders was evaluated for short-term effects. Chronic inebriates were provided with required goods and services through skid row community agencies contingent on their sobriety. Intoxication resulted in a five-day suspension of all goods and services. Excessive drinking behavior was assessed by direct observations of intoxication and by randomly administered breath alcohol analyses. As a result of this intervention, subjects substantially decreased their number of public drunkenness arrests and their alcohol consumption, and increased their number of hours employed. No such changes were observed in a control group that received services on a noncontingent basis. Longer-term research studies of one to two years rather than a few months would be required before any widespread use of this approach would be warranted.
