Twelve-Step Experiences and Expectations

Abbreviation
TSEE
Description

The TSEE is a brief measure of participants’ prior experiences with 12-step groups. Individuals are asked to indicate whether they have ever attended 12-step groups (AA, NA, CA, and CMA) or other substance-related selfhelp groups (Secular Organizations for Sobriety [SOS], Rational Recovery [RR]). If they have, they are asked to estimate the number of meetings they have attended in total and over the past 3 months, and to rate how helpful they feel that the meetings have been. They are also asked how likely they are to get involved in a 12-step group during this treatment episode and how helpful they anticipate such involvement will be.
