The ins and outs of alcohol education
Abstract
Considers issues relevant to alcohol education for young people, such as the behaviour and attitudes of adults they encounter. Describes the many influences that affect young people′s perceptions of safe levels of alcohol consumption, including advertising, the easy availability of alcohol and role models in the media. Concludes that reinforcing young people′s skills, knowledge and attitudes can help them to make considered and informed decisions about their drinking. Urges health educators to find out what pupils know before deciding what to teach.
