Block randomization was used to determine intervention assignment: a multimedia program vs. a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group from two data collection sites. Pre and post intervention scores from the EAC-B, TAPS and OQ were assessed for changes in expectations, fears and outcome, pre-intervention vs. discharge scores from the EAC-B and TAPS were assessed for changes in expectations and fears over treatment, and initial vs. discharge scores from the WAI-SR were compared for changes in alliance ratings.Results showed that although clients demonstrated significant change over time, this change was not related to the intervention used in this study. Some pre-treatment differences were noted with this sample. Clinical implications of these differences and using educational interventions with a substance abuse treatment population are discussed. 2008-12-29 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1227045382 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1227045382 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
