TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Factors affecting outpatient treatment compliance of older male problem drinkers JO - Journal of studies on alcohol A1 - Atkinson, R. M. A1 - Tolson, R. L. A1 - Turner, J. A. SP - 102 EP - 106 VL - 54 IS - 1 N2 - This study sought to identify predictors of outpatient treatment compliance in a cohort of 205 male problem drinkers, age 55 to 79 years. Patients agreed to attend a weekly outpatient therapy group designed for older persons and abstain from using alcohol for one year. Patients who were drinking-driving offenders, who had later onset of alcohol-related problems and/or whose spouses also participated in counseling were more likely than others to comply with outpatient requirements.
