Rural adolescent drinking behavior: three year follow-up in the New Hampshire substance abuse prevention study.
A three-year follow-up study of alcohol prevention among 4,406 children showed that neither a comprehensive school curriculum nor a community intervention was successful in preventing adolescent drinking. Predictor variables for drinking are examined and the importance of tolerance and encouragement of drinking by adult role models are noted.
