title = "Note: An examination of the drug abuse scale of the mill on clinical multiaxial inventory",
abstract = "The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, which includes a drug abuse scale, was administered to a group of known drug abusers several times during the course of treatment. The scoring characteristics of the drug abusers in this sample were found to be consistent with those of drug abusers used in the MCMI standardization sample. Group scores obtained in the present sample on the MCMI drug abuse scale at intake and after 1 and 3 months of treatment show considerable consistency. The results suggest that this drug abuse scale may be measuring relatively enduring characteristics, uninfluenced by treatment, at least in the short term.",

note = "Funding Information: Data were collected during a research project conducted in Broward and Dade Counties, in Florida, between May 1, 1981, and October 31, 1981. The sample in the study consisted of drug treatment patients who participated in the Treatment Outcome Prospective Study (TOPS). TOPS involved a national survey of drug abusers receiving treatment conducted by the Research Triangle Institute under contract with the National Institute on Drug Abuse. As part of TOPS, program researchers administered three survey forms and the MCMI. The survey forms were developed by the Research Triangle Institute to collect background information on drug abusers, including behavioral, socioeconomic, and demographic data (Research Triangle Institute, 1980). These survey instruments were administered at the time of a client{\textquoteright}s intake into treatment, and then again 1 month and 3 months after initiation of treatment. The subjects were given a small monetary incentive for participation upon completion of the instruments. Copyright: Copyright 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
