title: Incidence of alcohol abuse in the parents of medical students.
abstract: An anonymous self-report survey of the medical students at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center assessed how many of the students' parents were alcohol abusers. The results indicated that 27% of the student body were children of alcohol abusers, a rate twice that of the general population. This finding has implications for teaching strategies, student substance abuse, prevention efforts during the medical-school years, and provision of appropriate programs through student health services.
