title: Predicting the outcome of methadone maintenance treatment with the Negative Treatment Indicators content scale from the MMPI-2.
abstract: Scores on the Negative Treatment Indicators content scale from the MMPI-2 were not significantly correlated with 5 measures of treatment outcome among 108 male patients on methadone maintenance. These results and those from other studies using this content scale as an independent variable with substance abusers suggest that the scale has yet to demonstrate consistent predictive validity with this population.
