Project Match Monograph Series Volume 7: Strategies for Facilitating Protocol Compliance in Alcoholism Treatment Research

Volume 6: Improving Compliance With Alcoholism Treatment and Volume 7: Strategies for Facilitating Protocol Compliance in Alcoholism Treatment Research are companion volumes that address the issue of compliance.
