目的:项目匹配是一项随机临床试验,包括五个门诊和五个善后单位在9个网站。在这项多中心试验中,检查客户-治疗匹配的有效性的重要性是用于评估酒精治疗结局的结构化访谈(90表)的跨中心和中心内可靠性。本文的主题是评估90表的可靠性。方法:采用两次重测研究对90表的信度进行评价。跨站点的信度研究包括70个配对重测访谈,由不同的访问者进行。这项研究的客户是从住院,门诊和大学环境中招募的。本研究共进行了108次配对重测访谈,其中54次由不同的访谈者进行,54次由同一访谈者进行。这项研究的客户最经常出现在九个sties的酒精治疗,并被选为更大的项目匹配样本的代表。结果如下:良好到优秀的可靠性,发现所有关键的汇总措施,酒精消费和心理社会功能,最常用的非法药物有中度的可靠性。没有衰减的一致性自我报告的饮酒被发现在更远的点,从日期的重测访谈。应用68%的置信区间的主要酒精消费量的措施表明,训练有素的研究人员和临床医生可以获得一致的信息客户端饮酒。结论:表格90似乎是一个可靠的工具,酒精治疗评估研究时,采访者接受了仔细的培训和监督,在使用。
Objective: Project MATCH is a randomized clinical trial consisting of five outpatient and five aftercare units at nine sites. Of importance in this multisite trial examining the efficacy of client-treatment matching was the cross- and within-site reliability of the structured interview used to assess alcohol treatment outcomes, the Form 90. Evaluation of the reliability of Form 90 is the subject of this article. Method: The reliability of Form 90 was evaluated in two test-retest studies. The cross-site reliability study consisted of 70 paired test-retest interviews conducted by different interviewers. Clients for this study were recruited from inpatient, outpatient and college settings. The within-site reliability study had a total of 108 paired test-retest interviews, with 54 of the retests conducted by different interviewers and 54 by the same interviewer. Clients for this study were most often presenting for alcohol treatment at the nine sties and were selected to be representative of the larger Project MATCH sample. Results: Good-to-excellent reliability was found for all key summary measures of alcohol consumption and psychosocial functioning, and most frequently used illicit drugs had moderate reliability. No decay in consistency of self-reported drinking was found at more distal points from dates of test-retest interviews. Application of 68% confidence intervals for primary alcohol consumption measures suggests that trained researchers and clinicians can obtain consistent information regarding client drinking. Conclusions: Form 90 appears to be a reliable instrument for alcohol treatment assessment research when interviewers have received careful training and supervision in its use.
