Alcohol education in schools: toward a lifestyle risk-reduction approach. 1984

M L Thompson, and R Daugherty, and V Carver

This article calls for a refocusing of alcohol education to facilitate the adoption of low-risk lifestyle choices regarding decisions about abstinence and quantity and frequency of alcohol use. Five goals are presented as a focal point for lifestyle risk-reduction education about alcohol. It is essential that research and education activities become more focused on the link between the quantity-frequency of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems, and on the information and attitudes that support low-risk versus high-risk A/Q/F choices.
