Gender differences in client-provider relationship as active ingredient in substance abuse treatment
From the comprehensive treatment process data collected by a major national US study emerges the important lesson that retention in itself is not an active ingredient in post-treatment outcomes but reflects influences such having one's needs met (especially important for women) and developing a good relationship with the service and your key worker.

Long-term effect of community-based treatment: evidence from the adolescent outcomes project

Clinical outcomes of a brief motivational intervention for heavy drinking mandated college students: a pilot study
Is being caught and disciplined all it takes to get heavy drinkers who violate university drinking rules to cut back? According to this US study, the discipline process does work, but adding brief motivational-style advice makes a worthwhile extra impact.
Getting patients to take their medication is a major issue across medicine.
