The Alcohol Intervention Mechanisms Scale (AIMS) measures therapist interventions that occur broadly across modalities of behavioral treatment for alcohol use disorder.

Interrater agreement reliability for the AIMS was “excellent”.

Internal consistency reliability for the AIMS was “acceptable”.

In a two stage confirmatory factor model, fit by function was good, but the three factor solution did not fit the data well.

In concurrent validity analyses, AIMS summary and skillfulness scores showed associations with relevant Project MATCH criterion measures that were consistent with expectations.

In this preliminary sample, the AIMS shows generally promising psychometric properties.
