title: Characteristics of attenders to community based alcohol treatment centre with special reference to sex difference.
abstract: Alcohol misusers attending a London community day treatment centre were interviewed about their drinking habits and the expectations they had of the treatment they were receiving. The results show that the women experienced twice as many alcohol related problems as the men and were significantly more dependent upon alcohol. The men reported that they hoped to improve their health and confidence by coming for treatment.
