title: Planning the prevention of alcohol and other drug-related problems among women.
abstract: The aim of this paper is to report on the findings from a survey of key respondents with regard to the prevention of alcohol and other drug problems among women. The findings suggest that key respondents were concerned about the problems related to legal substances, alcohol, nicotine, minor tranquillisers, over-the-counter medication and major psychotropic medication. The problems described by these respondents included both physical and psychological health problems. The implications of these findings for prevention activity are discussed.
