Facilitating comprehensive assessment of 12-step experiences: A Multidimensional Measure of Mutual-Help Activity.

摘要: Existing measures of 12-step mutual-help activity typically capture only a narrow range experiences and combine fellowships with explicitly different substance-specific emphases (e.g., Alcoholics versus Narcotics Anonymous). To help expand our knowledge in this important area, we report on the development use comprehensive multidimensional measure two clinical samples young adults adolescents (N=430). One-week test-retest reliability was verified subsample. Results indicated high content validity across seven dimensions experience (meeting attendance, meeting participation, fellowship involvement, step work, mandated affiliation, safety), successfully discriminated between anticipated levels. This provides rich data activities deepens understanding individuals' organizations.
