Description
Summary:This article reviews which parts of the alcohol administration methodology were reported in 90 alcohol studies on humans published from 1994 to 1995. although several subject characteristics such as gender were regularly reported, other variables that can influence pharmacokinetics and responses to alcohol were not consistently reported. It is suggested that guidelines for reporting human alcohol administration studies be created and that journal editors and funding agencies require submissions to meet minimum standards for describing the study methodology. Potential guidelines are presented.
