Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Book Don t Blame it on the Alcohol

Download or read book Don t Blame it on the Alcohol written by Elizabeth B. Atwood and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binge drinking is a serious problem on college campuses, which is defined as five drinks on one occasion for men and four drinks on one occasion for women. The focus of this study is on student involvement on campus and how it affects binge drinking. The analysis examines predictors of college binge drinking through a social learning theoretical framework with the intention that the findings can be used to help colleges and universities prevent this dangerous drinking behavior. A logistic analysis of the predictors selected from the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study (2001) supports the promotion of campus activities and involvement in student organizations as preventative measures for binge drinking, as well as identifies several student populations at high risk for binge drinking. The findings of this study increases understanding of college binge drinking, has implications for possible intervention programs for campuses and future research, and supports Akers's social learning theory for understanding deviant behavior.
