It evaluated the predictive validity of both types of scoring with regard to completion of treatment. For this purpose, 252 patients were interviewed using the EuropAsi. 38.9% of patients discontinued treatment. Results indicated a high correlation between various areas of the ISR and the CS, except the legal and family-others scales. Regarding predictive results, patients with a score greater than 3 in the ISR family area were more likely to quit the programme compared to patients with a score lower than 3. Patients with a CS score that was greater than 0.34 in the alcohol-use area were more likely to drop-out of treatment. When both ISR and CS scores were included in the prediction model, the ISR family area was a better predictor.application/pdfeng© 2012 Elsevier Inc.
