title: College vs junior high school students' knowledge of alcohol as a teratogen.
abstract: This study assessed knowledge possessed by male and female junior high school and college students (N = 422) about the teratogenic effects of alcohol. Although most students were aware that alcohol is a teratogenic substance, they demonstrated little knowledge of the nature and timing of possible specific negative effects.
