by McKay and colleagues (2003) in their randomized study of continuing care treatments for alcohol- and cocaine-dependent persons. Despite less education, more employment problems, more cocaine dependence, and greater cohabitation with alcohol- and drug-addicted persons, black clients alcohol showed outcomes similar to those of whites. Other treatment studies have also reported comparable, if not better, effects for blacks relative to whites (Brower and Carey, 2003; Morgenstern and Bux, 2003; Rosenheck and Seibyl, 1998).
