The group does not receive special funding from grant-giving institutions. Special reference of the published work is made (a) to methodological aspects of research on alcoholism (e.g., taxonomy of relevant concepts; development of large research databases), (b) to the evaluation of therapy (e.g., relapse quotes), and (c) to the diagnosis of addiction. The group has developed some published questionnaires, e.g., Trierer Alkoholismusinventar [TAI], Trierer Inventar für Medikamentenabhängige [TIM], the TAI being the most widely used differential questionnaire for alcohol problems in the German speaking countries. The TAI is currently implemented on PC within the HOTSYS shell by the Centre for Test Development and Diagnostics at Fribourg University.
