title: Alcohol education courses for offenders: an update on U.K. services.
abstract: Current service provision for offenders through Alcohol Education Courses (AECs) was examined. Information from fifty-five British agencies was collected, showing differences between AECs offered with respect to clients, teaching components and evaluation. More agencies now collect post-intervention follow-up data on clients' drinking/offending behaviour. AEC evaluation attempts using robust experimental designs have been sparse, however.
