This document reports a revision study of the California Alcohol Services Reporting System (ASRS), a system which consists of a structure of definitions and categories of services, a budget form of planned alcohol services, instructions for the county plan, and the report of expenditures. The study problem is that the ASRS structure of definitions, categories and forms may be too restrictive and inadequate to accurately reflect the current diversity of publicly funded alcohol programs and services in California. The study methodology consisted of a literature review and site visits to and interviews with purposive samples of county alcohol programs and local service providers. Selective characteristics of the county alcohol programs and of the local service providers that were visited are described. The diversity of models of service in publicly funded programs is discussed. Six issues regarding the County Alcohol Program Administrators' use and evaluation of components of the ASRS are discussed. These include overall use; problems with direct and indirect categories of service, with "participant" and "visit" types of service recipients, and with budget forms and cost guidelines; services that do not fit the ASRS subcategories; and special accomplishments that are inadequately noted. The kinds of inadequacies in the data from the ASRS and selected emerging issues that might impact revision of the ASRS are discussed. Six major recommendations are presented with their rationales. The appendices include study plan and methods, a glossary, a paper on alcohol services models, and a discussion of the community-social model philosophy. (ABL)
