Our accomplishments include: (a) developing methods for processing transdermalalcohol concentration data that yield clinically-meaningful quantification of drinking; (b) demonstratingcontingency management can be successfully implemented using transdermal alcohol monitors and thatcontingency management can produce sustained reductions in heavy drinking in non-treatment-seekingproblematic drinkers; and (c) establishing collaborations within the judicial system.
