Abstract
Reports of teenage drinking patterns and incidence of alcoholism generally could lead to the conclusion that school and community education programs have not been successful. A part of that apparent lack of success may lie in a failure to adopt a strategy in keeping with experiential observation and research data. Programs of alcohol education, or education on alcoholism, should have three main objectives: first, information about alcohol and alcoholism; second, case finding; and third, prevention. The subject is an extremely complex one, calling on the skills of many different disciplines for the gathering of research data and the treatment of the patient. That factor of complexity should be recognized in the planning of school or community education programs. Optimal success may best be assured within a program with clear objectives, executed at a number of levels, utilizing many talents and loci, within a well organized plan of action.
