This handbook was written under a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). We greatly appreciate the guidance, assistance, and patience of Laurie L. Foudin, Ph.D., SBIR Coordinator, NIAAA, in this most important project. We also want to thank Susan E. Martin, Ph.D. of the NIAAA for her helpful comments.

This handbook would not have been written without the guidance of Linda Hirshberg, Ph.D., Principal Investigator and principal author of the handbook. Sigrid Cleland, the second author, and Alan Bernstein, both of CONSAD Research Corporation, served as Project and Technical Managers. Additional technical assistance was provided by Wilbur Steger, Ph.D., President of CONSAD, and Sheila Lichtblau also of CONSAD. Royer Cook, Ph.D. (CONSAD Consultant) assisted with the evaluation of the handbook. Selena Gilliam and Mary Reiter supervised the production of the handbook.
