Colleagues,
Next month is Alcohol Awareness Month. National Alcohol Screening Day is scheduled for
Thursday, April 8, 1999. The purpose of the screening is to address a range of drinking
issues, including alcohol dependence. We wanted to give you advance notice to help you
educate others about this program. The screening is directed toward the general community,
but there is also a college program which emphasizes binge-drinking and targets young
adults. You'll find additional information in the materials below.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues,
