Measuring alcohol consumption : psychosocial and biochemical methods by Raye Z Litten( Book )

7 editions published in 1992 in English and held by 144 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Most alcohol studies have focused on the issues of alcohol dependence and the harmful effects of drinking, rather than on the level of alcohol consumption itself. In Measuring Alcohol Consumption, Raye Litten and John Allen - renowned authorities in the field of alcohol studies - and their panel of experts demonstrate how the accurate assessment of alcohol usage is important in its own right. This is especially true in at least four contexts: evaluating the effectiveness of alcoholism and alcohol abuse treatment and prevention efforts; assessing the level of alcohol consumption in screening for future alcohol-related behavioral and medical problems; determining alcohol consumption - with or without collateral alcoholism - as a risk factor for many serious medical conditions; and the importance of monitoring alcohol use in ensuring public safety. Measuring Alcohol Consumption discusses a variety of techniques and approaches, including direct verbal and collateral accounts of drinking, complex and innovative biochemical indicators, methods of measuring drinking over an extended period of time, and procedures that measure relatively recent consumption. Timely and thought-provoking, Litten and Allen's Measuring Alcohol Consumption constitutes the first comprehensive source on these new techniques. It is an invaluable guide for all concerned with the problems associated with alcohol use and abuse, at both the clinical and research levels

Correlates of military satisfaction and attrition among Army personnel by Ritchie Perry( Book )

6 editions published in 1980 in English and held by 106 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

A study determined relationships between Army organizational variables and levels of soldier satisfaction and assessed correlates of attrition and battalion effectiveness ratings. It was based on a secondary analysis of data collected in the Army Life-78 Study, which considered relationships of organizational climate and unit effectiveness. Subjects were 8,140 personnel assigned to 60 battalions. Other administrative data considered were Unit Readiness Reports, Annual General Inspection Ratings, incidence of criminal activities, and measures of attrition. The most striking finding was that three types of satisfaction (job satisfaction, sense of equity from the Army, and overall satisfaction with the Army) were extremely closely related to variables of organizational climate and also very highly associated with several job characteristics. To a lesser, but still significant extent, satisfaction was a function of several types of endogenous Army life problems (salary, time off, etc.). Considerations of the potentially moderating variables of soldier coping resources and presence of spouse with the servicemember contributed little to an understanding of the relationship of predictors to satisfaction. Unit attrition rates were not found to be related to measures of unit effectiveness. Recommendations were made for methodological changes in future research. (Ylb)
