Alcohol Problems in the Community
Larry Harrison | 1995-12-18 00:00:00 | Routledge | 288 | Substance Abuse
Focusing on Britain, the first few chapters of this book examine the implications of recent community care legislation for government policy on alcohol; the prevalence of drinking problems among older people which has been underestimated; and recent research which examines young people's drinking problems. In the second half of the book, empirical evidence is presented on the particular difficulties faced by ethnic, migrant and homeless groups and this emphasis on the centrality of social disadvantage leads on to consideration of a specific social work role in the assessment and management of alcohol-related problems. Alcohol Problems in the Community addresses key social work issues in relation to poverty, homelessness, discrimination and drinking problems.
