Abstract
Baseline differences in alcoholism problem severity were compared between alcoholics who did and did not volunteer to participate in a treatment effectiveness study. A positive relationship was found between self-reports of alcohol-related problems and the degree of research participation. Group differences were also revealed in the rate of treatment completion. Possible explanations and solutions for this volunteer bias are discussed.
