Alcoholism treatment outcome studies, 1970-1998. An expanded look at the nature of the research.
TL;DR: This paper reviewed 701 alcohol treatment outcome studies reported between 1970 and 1998 and found that the majority of both investigators and participants were male, and participant characteristics were generally inconsistently surveyed and reported, and the types of outcome measures assessed varied more widely and were more likely to be continuous and quantifiable.
