Methods to Investigate Attitudes about Alcohol Dependence.

Ulrich, John

Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v37 n3 p62-65 Spr 1992

Searched articles (n=387) in German magazines with highest circulation rates for attitudes about alcoholism. In 55 percent of articles, alcohol dependence was described as illness, but only 4 percent included definitions of condition. Found articles about alcohol dependence were so simplified reader could mistake condition as being self-inflicted and solution as one of will power. (Author/ABL)
