Preventing Heavy Alcohol Use in Girls
Tuesday, April 20, 2010, Noon - 1:00 pm
Increasing attention is being focused on the use of alcohol by girls and young women, and the health consequences of their patterns of heavy and binge drinking. Young women are particularly vulnerable to acute and chronic harms associated with heavy alcohol use. This presentation will describe these health and social consequences, and key trends and issues related to use of alcohol by girls and young women. It will highlight some "promising practices" in preventing/reducing harms associated with heavy alcohol use by girls and young women, and describe a multi-partner research project underway to further investigate this work.
