An index for assessing blindness in a multi-centre clinical trial: disulfiram for alcohol cessation--a VA cooperative study.

This paper considers an index to assess the success of blinding with application to a clinical trial of disulfiram. The index increases as the success of blinding increases, accounts for uncertain responses, and is scaled to an interval of 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 being complete lack of blinding and 1.0 being complete blinding.
