There have been few outcome studies on the Al-Anon component of A.A. In a convenience sample of 50 A.A. members, this study found no significant difference on reported family stress scores (IFR) between those who had a family member attending Al- Anon and those who did not have a family member attending. However, a significant correlation was found between increased duration of family member Al-Anon attendance and lower reported family stress scores for the A.A. member and the Al-Anon member. Al-Anon attendance was also significantly related to continuous attendance of A.A. by the alcoholic.
