title: Attorneys' attitudes towards alcohol and drug use: a prospective study (1983-1988).
abstract: Legal professionals come into close contact with problems arising from the consumption of alcoholic beverages and other abused drugs. The present study was designed to analyse the possible changes in attitude towards this situation, and specifically to analyse how social change has affected the legal profession. A group of lawyers practising and residing in Granada, Spain was studied. A questionnaire was used to gather data about habits of alcohol consumption and attitudes toward consumption-related problems. The data was analysed statistically with the BMDP. Cultural factors and age seem to act as moderating influence regarding attitudes toward the consumption of alcohol.
