Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v9 n2 p57-73 1999

Questions whether parental reports of post treatment substance use and other treatment outcomes-related behaviors reliably reflect self-reports of adolescents; and if initially reliable, if the parental reports continue to reliably reflect adolescents' self-reports over time. Indicates that parents can give reliable proxy information regarding their child's post treatment substance use and related behaviors if asked to report on observable behaviors. (Author/JDM)
