Modeling Behavior Change Over Time: The 12-step
Experience
Saturday June 28th, 2008
Grand Hyatt Washington DC
RSA Pre-Conference Workshop
Recent prospective studies offer unique insights into the dynamic nature of 12-step related behavior change, and how such change is mobilized and sustained. This workshop is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in understanding the drinking trajectories of 12-step exposed individuals with and without formal treatment.
Speakers: Lee Ann Kaskutas, Christine Timko, Robert Stout, John Kelly, Barbara McCrady, Elizabeth Robinson, Robert Thoma, Maria Pagano, & Scott Tonigan
Workshop Featured Topics:
- The trajectories of 12-step participation and formal treatment seeking: Short and long-term interactions.
- Statistical approaches for longitudinal nested data structures common in 12-step and treatment outcome research.
- Making sense of mechanisms of change in 12-step research: Current knowledge and future directions.
- Special populations and 12-step related behavior change over time.
