Project MATCH Hypotheses : Results and Causal Chain Analyses

The first systematic & comprehensive treatment of causal chain analysis of interventions for alcohol problems. Causal chains are theory-based models of the change process underlying intervention effects. Causal chains specify a testable sequence of steps postulated to be necessary & sufficient occurrences leading to an intervention's effects. The Project MATCH (PM) (Matching Alcoholism Treatments to Client Heterogeneity) design included causal chain testing for all of the tested hypotheses. Examines each of the hypotheses tested in PM & provides a rich array of approaches to conceptualizing & testing the associated causal chains. Brings in new analytic approaches.
