A description of the subsystems as they operated at the 35 ASAPs is presented along with client flow data. Profiles of clients in drinker diagnosis categories and several rehabilitation modality categories are presented for demographic and arrest history variables. Analyses designed to assess the validity of several types of diagnostic systems employed by the ASAPs are presented. Results of these analyses indicate that NHTSA criteria for drinker diagnosis are the most valid of the systems analyzed.129
