| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Resting-state EEG Participants will undergo a 21-channel EEG with Nexus-32 hardware and Biotrace+ software 19 standard channels including right and left mastoid locations) with a sampling rate of 512 samples per second. Four separate flat type electrodes will be used to measure horizontal and vertical eye-movements. Barrat impulsivity Scale -11 The Barrat Impulsivity Scale measures behavioural and personality construct of impulsivity across three factors: attentional, motor and nonplanning. It consists of 30 items scored on 4 point scale ranging from rarely/never to almost always/always. Cued Go/No-Go task The cued Go/No-Go task is a continuous performance test, measuring impulse control by the ability to inhibit prepotent responses. DAQ The desire for alcohol questionnaire (DAQ) is a self-report questionnaire assessing the desire to drink alcohol at the moment of assessment. It consists of four factors: intention to drink, desire to consume alcohol, anticipation of positive outcome from drinking, anticipation of relief of negative effect from withdrawal. A short-form of the questionnaire will be used, consisting of 14 items. | — |

|---|---|
| Actual drug-use Number of urine samples collected will be counted, as will be positive (meaning drug-use in the period of time since last drug test) and negative (meaning no drug-use since last testing) outcome scores. Corresponding with clinical policy, refusal to undergo urine-analysis will be scored as a positive result. Covariates (demographic characteristics, psychopathology, time in forensic treatment, actual drug use during the past 24 months, medication, clinical-risk assessment score, routine outcome measurements) will be collected through file information. | — |
