Knowledge of alcohol effects among women and men employed in business and professional occupations.
An alcohol information questionnaire was administered to 241 business and professional people (147 females). The mean number of items answered correctly was 59.5%, a level suggesting a lack of needed information, especially within a sample composed primarily of drinkers. Both males and females performed poorly on questions concerning the differential effects of alcohol on women. Factors affecting the development and acceptance of such information are discussed.
