Community Prevention Trials for Alcohol Problems : Methodological Issues

The contributors to this volume aim to demonstrate that it is now possible to undertake community prevention trials of alcohol-involved problems with the same precision, good design and careful planning that has characterised similar prevention trials for heart disease and cancer prevention. This is the first book to establish a scientific basis for the integration of research into programme design and in programme evaluation, making it possible to determine if community programmes are effective or worth the money spent on them.
