Abstract

Described is the development and evaluation of a three hour multi-media community education program on alcohol problems in later life. Designed for families, older adults and service providers, the program provides information and skills needed to recognize and to take appropriate action with regard to alcohol abuse among the elderly. Compared to a control group, program participants had significant gains in knowledge and in their intent to take appropriate action in response to alcohol problems.
