The remaining 16 variables include Cognitive Impairment, Conceptual Level, Meaning-Seeking, Motivation for Change, Psychiatric Severity, Sociopathy, Social Support for Drinking, Anger, Antisocial Personality, Interpersonal Dependency, Psychopathology, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Involvement, Religiosity, Confidence in Abstinence, Temptation – Confidence in Abstinence, Social Functioning, and Readiness to Change. Instruments used to measure these variables were reported in original studies by the Project MATCH Research group (1997a, b). We altered the scoring of the social functioning variable because Project MATCH analyses included DrInC items that are used for the severity marker in this study. Thus, the Psychosocial Functioning Inventory (Feragne et al., 1983) score was used for this variable.
