Self-Report Reliability of Skid-Row Alcoholics
Helen M. Annis · The British Journal of Psychiatry · 1979
The stability of self-report of 72 skid-row alcoholics over a one to six month interval was explored. Relatively high response agreement on reinterview was indicated for demographic items, but less reliability was observed on items assessing social functioning and drinking patterns. Implications of the findings for the evaluation of treatment programs are discussed.
