Disulfiram Administration Should Be Noncoercive -- equable for Research In our article.Disulfiram Administration Should Be Noncoercive -- equable for Research In our article, "Disulfiram: An Evaluation Research Model" (AH&RW 12:202--209 1988) there may be confusion in succession the issue of court commitment and its relation to disulfiram treatment. Court commitment simply indicates that a patient is placed in a hospital because of the ne for alcoholism treatment; court commitment should not dictate the processs used in treatment. We encourage researchers whenever possible to avoid limiting criterion subjects to individuals who are judicially ordered to take disulfiram for alcohol-related offense because this limits the ability to generalize inferences to individuals who are not in this legal status. In fact, the same of the issues our propos research would address is whether bodily substances "forced" to take disulfiram derive any benefit from the experience. We apologize for any confusion resulting from the statements in our article. For the couple ethical and methodological reasons, we endorse the use of noncoercive modes for obtaining subjects.
