药物滥用治疗结果的研究往往因为受试者失访而受到阻碍。虽然后续数据可以从几个来源获得，但后续访谈往往是数据的主要来源。在寻找和采访未接受治疗的受试者方面经常遇到困难。从文献回顾的后续方法和我们自己的经验，我们确定了10个程序的有效后续。这些程序的应用说明了在美沙酮维持治疗计划的非法阿片类药物使用者的后续研究。98%的受试者进行了后续访谈。我们建议后续研究人员使用这10种程序，我们还建议回顾以前关于后续方法的几篇出版物。
Studies of the outcomes of substance abuse treatment are often handicapped because of subjects lost to follow-up. While follow-up data may be obtained from several sources, the follow-up interview often serves as the principal source of data. Difficulties are regularly encountered in locating and interviewing subjects not in treatment. From review of the literature on follow-up methodology and our own experience, we identified 10 procedures for effective follow-up. Application of these procedures is illustrated in a follow-up study of illicit opioid users treated in a methadone maintenance program. Follow-up interviews were obtained with 98% of the subjects. We recommend use of the 10 procedures by follow-up researchers, and we also recommend review of several previous publications on follow-up methodology.
