Development and validity of drinking pattern classification: Binge, episodic, sporadic, and steady drinkers in treatment for alcohol problems
Article Abstract:
An empirically derived drinking pattern classification system is revised and tested, and its concurrent and predictive validity are assessed in a new sample of alcohol-dependent adults in treatment. The data for the study was collected using the Timeline Follow-back (TLFB) method, in which the five-pattern classification demonstrated predictive validity, and showed promise of clinical utility for treatment-seeking samples.
