title: Perceived importance of self-determination factors by consumers in substance-abuse treatment.
abstract: 40 consumers (20 from 1993 and 20 from 1994) were randomly selected from about 450 residents of a midwestern urban free-standing residential substance-abuse treatment facility to participate in a study on factors relating to self-determination. Self-confidence, positive attitude, listening skills, and assuming responsibility were identified in both years as the most important factors. Role models, however, were not reported as being important.
