Abstract
Two studies were conducted to examine the extent and effects of alcohol abuse in 101 hospitalized schizophrenic patients with a secondary diagnosis of alcoholism. The findings revealed that problem drinking was occurring in about half of these patients and described a variety of drinking-related effects that interfered with routine patient treatment and management.
