title: The use of role plays in teaching drug and alcohol management.
abstract: This is an evaluation of the use of role plays to teach drug and alcohol assessment and management skills to medical students as part of their general practice training. Role plays of 'real life' scenarios enable students to evaluate their own learning experiences. This method facilitates effective peer discussion of clinical and ethical issues with a high degree of acceptability to both students and teachers.
