This document presents a self-instructional guide to train individuals in the use of the Procedures for Identifying Problem Drinkers (PIPD), a screening and assessment package designed to determine the existence and degree of a drinking problem. The guide was developed for use in pre-sentence investigations, but is easily adaptable to other contexts. It is intended for use by individuals studying it alone, but it can also be used to train small groups or to inform nontraining audiences. A 15-step administrator's guide is provided for persons using the document to train others; a "how to use this guide" section is provided for individual users. The guide is divided into eight sections, each with a different objective. Section I provides an overview of the PIPD and what it is intended to do. Sections II through VII train the reader in how to use the PIPD; how to administer, score, record, and interpret the results of the PIPD; and how to recommend treatment based on the results. Each section deals with a different procedure: (1) questionnaire; (2) interview; (3) tally sheet of critical records; (4) treatment evaluation sheet and recommendation of treatment; (5) answer key; and (6) follow-up activities. Section VIII contains a brief annotated bibliography. Necessary forms and worksheets are appended. (NB)
