The Type A-Type B classification in a community sample of problem drinkers: Structural and predictive validity
Article Abstract:
A study that was carried out to investigate the Type A/Type B distinction in a community sample of problem drinkers and its predictive validity among problem drinkers with no history of alcohol dependence is described. The Type A-Type B model is useful for identifying untreated problem drinkers at risk for developing alcohol dependence and could facilitate the development of more targeted prevention efforts.
