Thirty-Month Follow-Up of Drinking Moderation Training for Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Walitzer, Kimberly S.; Connors, Gerard J.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v75 n3 p501-507 Jun 2007
This study examined the durability of a group-based drinking moderation training for heavily drinking women reporting low physical dependence on alcohol. A 30-month follow-up of participants was conducted based on a previous study of 144 women randomly assigned to treatment conditions (G. J. Connors & K. S. Walitzer, 2001). Thirty-month follow-up results indicated that women who at baseline were relatively heavier drinkers had significantly greater benefit from the drinking moderation training when exposed to intervention enhancements entailing life skills training and booster sessions. Further, the initial improvements in drinking, relative to baseline levels, did not statistically deteriorate over the 30-month follow-up. The findings support the application of treatment enhancements among women in this population who at baseline are relatively heavier drinkers.
