Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is a major producer and consumer of alcohol, and alcohol related problems make a major impact on health, social welfare and the economy. Despite these costs, many communities continue to regard alcohol problems solely as medical or even narrowly psychiatric issues. Community programmes and local action of all kinds are one important way of supporting healthier lifestyles, as well as securing public and political support for modifying the sale and use of alcohol. These guidelines are essentially practical and contain approaches that can be adapted to different settings. They are designed to stimulate local interest and action plans.

Book Drinkers  Drivers  and Bartenders

Download or read book Drinkers Drivers and Bartenders written by Frank A. Sloan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-06-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the United States Public Health Service, over 100,000 deaths a year are attributable to alcohol, including 20,000 highway fatalities. In response, legislatures have enacted various forms of regulation intended both to reduce alcohol consumption and to curb its harmful effects. This groundbreaking study focuses on one such form of regulation, the liability imposed on alcohol servers and social hosts by tort law. Basing their analysis on important new data from their extensive research and in-depth interviews with actors on all sides of the issue, the authors conclude that, despite their relative unpopularity, tort laws are very effective in reducing accidents—even more than criminal sanctions. Extraordinary in scope and exacting in detail, Drinkers, Drivers, and Bartenders: Balancing Private Choices and Public Accountability links alcohol problems, deterrence, and serving practices in a way no other work has been able to do and is certain to become a crucial reference point for researchers and policymakers alike.

Book Prevention and Societal Impact of Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Download or read book Prevention and Societal Impact of Drug and Alcohol Abuse written by Robert T. Ammerman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally acknowledged that the most cost-effective means of curtailing alcohol and drug abuse is prevention. Providing interventions to at-risk individuals before they develop serious problems with substance use is the most important component of the "war on drugs." Fortunately, the past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of scientific research on those areas crucial to the advancement of prevention science. This book compiles a tremendous amount of information about prevention which has accumulated in recent years. Documenting these accomplishments and setting the stage for future efforts comprise the focus of this book. Prevention and Societal Impact of Drug and Alcohol Abuse is divided into four parts. Part I contains introductory chapters addressing current issues in prevention science and characteristics of abusable substances. Part II includes chapters on the historical contexts of substance abuse and the deleterious health consequences of alcohol and other drugs.

Included are chapters on alcohol and drug abuse and driving, infectious illness, disability, managed care, the criminal justice system and adolescents and adults, sale and distribution, the media, and community responses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, alcohol and other drug abuse scientists have access to a broad array of clinical resources that integrate a commonsensical approach to addiction treatment with science. Addictions: A Comprehensive Guidebook is a superb example of one such resource. Here, in one volume, is both practical and scholarly information for alcohol and drug abuse specialists, primary care providers, clinicians, policy-makers, and others involved in programs that are geared to help those who abuse or are dependent on alcohol and other drugs. Its scope is a testament to how far drug abuse scientists and practitioners have come in defining what they do and to how they are able to do it effectively through a growing body of scientific behavioral research. Addictions is organized into seven parts that range from the prevalence of certain addictions to their identification and treatment to the social effects of these addictions. In fact, this volume contains nearly all of the basic information a professional or graduate student needs to learn about or treat substance abuse.
