A randomised clinical trial was conducted in order to compare treatment results between Minnesota model treatment for alcohol abuse and outpatient treatment. The trial had to be discontinued due to problems in recruitment of subjects and a high rate of attrition among subjects allocated to Minnesota model treatment. In this paper the problems encountered during the trial are discussed. Different methods of recruitment of subjects to a randomised trial are compared.

Key Words: Alcoholism • Minnesota model treatment • evaluation • randomised trial.
