Thursday. December 30. 1982 Teenagers And Alcohol C. Everett Koop, M.D. An important decision fac ing many young people is whether and how to use alcoholic beverages. Most teenagers have tried some alcoholic beverage by the time they graduate from high school.- Studies have shown that as many of these youngsters approach early adulthood and become more independent of their families, their drinking increases both in frequency and in quantity. Although alcohol dependence is not common among teenagers, experimen ting with alcohol can result in many other serious conse quences. Surveys have found that approximately 3 million young people aged 14-17 years old have problems with use of alcohol. More than three million, or 27 per cent, of all 10-12th graders drink at least once a week ; more than half of these youths at their vulnerable age drink heavily at least once a week. Six per cent of 12th graders report that they drink daily. One of the most tragic con sequences of youthful alcohol abuse is the high number of fatal automobile accidents. More people between 15 and 24 years old die from this cause than from any other, countless others also are kill ed or injured in accidents in volving teens and alcohol. In October, Secretary of Health and Human Services Richard Schweiker declared that alcohol abuse by young Americans and its resulting tragedies are a “challenge to our national conscience,” and initiated a major offensive to mobilize public and private action against the problem. The Secretary’s initiative includes conferences in 10 U.S. metropolitan areas to help teachers, school prin cipals, PTA members, and others in the educational and health system expand alcohol abuse prevention and educa tion programs; another series of meetings to train persons to assess the need for and develop community-based treatment services for youth; and a Secretarial Conference in Washington, D.C. in Spring 1983 to draw national atten tion to the work of students themselves against drinking and driving. One youth move ment, Students Against Driv ing Drunk, has spread rapid ly from its inception in a small Massachusetts com munity, and there are similar efforts around the country. “We cannot bring back those who have died, but we can spare others,” Secretary Schweiker said in launching his drive against teenage alcohol abuse. Besides the carnage it causes on the road, teenage drinking causes other pro blems. It can interfere with day-to-day relationships with friends and family members, or with school work. It often is a contributing factor when about the various interost rates we pay in our Association. Stop in when it’s convenient and let us show you how your money can earn some of the highest rates ever paid in the history of our institution. Edenton Saving & Loan 4 ‘ South Broad Street teenagers get in trouble with school authorities, or with law-enforcement agencies. As a physician, I have seen many cases, of alcoholism which started with adolescent alcohol abuse. I know the ef fects can be long-term, as well as short-term. Preventing teenage drink ing problems is a challenge facing our entire society. It must be solved by the combin ed efforts of many sectors. Os crucial importance are parents’ attitudes toward drinking. Parents are the earliest role models for teenagers. If a teenager sees his or her mother and father practicing moderate drink ing, such as refusing un wanted alcoholic beverages even when there is social pressure to drink, the chances are better that the youngster also will adopt healthy drink ing attitudes and habits. A major role in preventing alcohol abuse also can be played by educators, health professionals, and communi ty agencies through providing alcohol education programs. In fact, programs proven to be the most effective have ex tended from schools into com prehensive programs aimed at educationg the entire com munity, enlisting the col laboration of parents and community organizations and institutions. A variety of ap proaches have included pro viding alternative activities, influencing attitudes through the media, and promoting community involvement. States and local com munities across the Nation currently are conducting media campaigns and other prevention activities in con nection with public education and prevention programs of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Adults involved in prevention programs also have a chance to examine their own attitudes about alcohol. If you are interested in becoming involved in alcohol abuse prevention for young people,- contact your State office for alcohol abysg and alcoholism. Or write"to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Division of Prevention and Research Dissemination, Room 16C-10, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857. I call upon you to join the campaign against the tragedy of teenage alcohol abuse. WINTER OVERCOAT.
