"New" iconScreening for Alcohol Use and Alcohol-Related Problems

Routine screening for problems with alcohol is a relatively recent practice, but has a solid base of support. In 1990, the Institute of Medicine’s landmark report on broadening the base of alcohol and other drug abuse treatment recommended that patients in all medical settings be screened for the full spectrum of problems that can accompany alcohol use and, when necessary, be offered brief intervention or referral to treatment services. This Alcohol Alert focuses on the use of routine alcohol screening in a variety of medical settings. NIAAA, 2005, 8pp.

Sexual Behavior of Young Adolescents

Few adults or teens think it is appropriate for young adolescents to have sex. Still, a significant minority of those age 14 and younger say they have had sexual intercourse. One large data set even suggests that while the proportion of unmarried teen girls age 15-19 who have had sex declined between 1988 and 1995, the proportion of unmarried teen girls age 14 and younger who had sex increased appreciably over the same time period. This "Science Says" research brief provides data on the sexual behavior of young adolescents and offers recommendations based on this research to parents, policymakers and those who work with teens. Readers should be aware that all of the data presented is nationally-representative except where noted. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2003, 3pp.
