Reducing Alcohol Related Harm
This review examined evidence for school and family linked alcohol education programmes to reduce or prevent the misuse of alcohol by young people.
The misuse of alcohol is of major national and international public health concern and can bring significant harm and burden to family members, resulting in increased use of health and social care services and a drain on their resources.
Alcohol and drug problems are common and are associated with significant health and social problems. Close family members of people with alcohol or drug problems suffer stress-related physical and psychological symptoms that can be severe and long lasting, often prompting a higher use of primary care services, and hence resulting in significant burden on healthcare resources.
