This page will continue to be updated as noteworthy products from the Project MATCH trial become available.

The long awaited "MATCH Book", officially titled, Treatment Matching in Alcoholism, edited by Thomas F. Babor & Frances K. Del Boca, has been published by Cambridge University Press (2003).

From the jacket:
With contributions by twenty six Project MATCH researchers, “this book, edited by two principal investigators, is the first comprehensive report of Project MATCH, the largest treatment study ever conducted with alcoholics. It describes the rationale, methods, results, and implications of the study, and presents new findings about how treatment works, for whom it is most effective, and who does best in different kinds of treatment. It also offers some of the first scientific evidence of the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous.” » More on the Treatment Matching in Alcoholism book…

Volume 8 of the Project MATCH Monograph Series, titled, Project MATCH Hypotheses: Results and Causal Chain Analyses, is now available through NIAAA's web site.

Project MATCH Hypotheses: Results and Causal Chain Analyses, 330 pp. NIH Pub No. 01-4238. 2001.

This volume is the first systematic and 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 and sufficient occurrences leading to an intervention's effects. The Project MATCH design included causal chain testing for all of the tested hypotheses.
