Birch and Davis Associates. 1984. Report on the 1984 National Conference for Youth on Drinking and Driving. Washington, DC: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, ca. 125 pp.

Annotation: This report from the 1984 National Conference for Youth on Drinking and Driving focussed on the fact that students spend 18 percent of their time at school and 12 percent of their time at work. The workplace has come to rival the school as an influence on young people, and alcohol consumption varies directly with the amount of money that young people have to spend. Members of the conference staff contacted a number of large employers of youth for their opinions and ideas. Young people, educators, and employers of young people formed state delegations and attended this conference to learn more about what they could do to reduce adolescent alcohol use in their community.
