Contingency Management in the Treatment of Adolescent Alcohol Drinking Problems.

Brigham, Steven L.; And Others

Journal of Psychology, v109 n1 p73-85 Sep 1981

Three case studies demonstrated excessive alcohol drinking in adolescents could be reduced by self-monitoring and extrinsic reinforcement procedures. Behavioral interventions resulted in complete abstinence for a male with 10 years of excessive alcohol abuse. However, alcohol abuse increased markedly for two females once intervention procedures were removed. (Author/DB)
