Answer to Question 1

A
Cognitive behavioral approaches are aimed at improving self-control and social skills to reduce substance use. Self-control strategies include goal setting, self-monitoring, analysis of drinking antecedents, and learning of alternative coping skills. Social-skills training focuses on learning skills for forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships, assertiveness, and drink refusal.

Answer to Question 2

B
A theory that arises out of practice is validated by research, which rebounds to direct practice and inform clinical care. The only correct answer is research. The other options are important to practice, but theory is validated by research.
