Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This sub series consists of documents relating to a 1980 study on recovering gay alcoholics. This research was supported in part by a grant awarded to Latham by the Gay Academic Union, and the National Council on Alcoholism Minority Programs Committee assisted in the data collection. The study sought to assess whether an alcoholic's sexual orientation would affect their experience in an alcoholic treatment program. Gay and non-gay recovering alcoholics were surveyed, as well as staff members at alcoholic treatment agencies. The series includes the paper written on the findings of the study, a preliminary report of the Orange County Gay Alcoholic Needs Assessment Project. Latham wrote the paper along with Karen A. Jones and Marcie D. Jenner, and it was presented at the National Council of Alcoholism Convention on May 3, 1980. The series also includes survey administration materials, coding sheets for the surveys, and the 1979-1980 agendas and minutes of the National Council on Alcoholism Minority Program Committee meetings.
