N2  - In summary, we have seen that there isn't sufficient data available to properly assess this problem, but from what exists we are fairly sure that teen-age alcohol abuse is on the rise. We have also noted that there are many area agencies for alcoholics, but that there is not much coordinated effort, and essentially none for teen-agers. This is probably due to its being a relatively new trend and that many people are apparently refusing to admit that it exists. Also covered were possible causes for this new problem and the various roles of nurses in prevention. These include school nurses, public health nurses, and others in community and state politics, promotion of new educational methods, family teaching both at home and in the hospital, new responsibilities of the school nurse, and research. These are challenging roles, but also very important considering that these teen-agers who are flirting with trouble today will be rearing families and defining social behavior tomorrow.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
