I'm posting this as a new thread as I feel it might be useful but have also attached it in the thread where Susan asks for sources and _link_s. These sources are after only 45min of searching and I've been at it since 92 I have read MOST but not all sites. But others which I did get info from in some cases have been absorbed or taken over by other organisations. Plus there's you government for additional U.S. factors. And if you really wanna get technical, go to medline and punch in substance abuse alcoholism teen drug use aversion therapy and you'll get more than you could read in a few months worth of summaries of clinical trials and papers by researchers and bibliographies to their sources of info. A couple of topical references of recent discussions and promised _link_s below. ===== Children of alcoholics are four times more likely than other children to become alcoholics, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. ===== Research Shows Alcoholism May Be Inherited 05/21/1998 Researchers have determined that genetics plays a role in alcoholism and have pinpointed which genes could lead to the illness, the Associated Press reported May 20. ===== AVERSION THERAPY OR BEHAVIOUR ISSUES psychotherapy designed to cause a patient to reduce or avoid an undesirable behaviour pattern by conditioning him to associate the behaviour with an undesirable stimulus. The chief stimuli used in the therapy are electrical and chemical. In the electrical therapy, the patient is given a lightly painful shock whenever the undesirable behaviour is aroused; this method has been used in the treatment of sexual deviations. In the chemical therapy, the patient is given a drug that produces unpleasant effects, such as nausea, when combined with the undesirable behaviour; this method has been common in the treatment of alcoholism, the therapeutic drug and the alcohol together causing the nausea. source:© 1999-2000 Britannica.com Inc. ===== Children of alcoholics are four times more likely than other children to become alcoholics, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. ===== Research Shows Alcoholism May Be Inherited 05/21/1998 Researchers have determined that genetics plays a role in alcoholism and have pinpointed which genes could lead to the illness, the Associated Press reported May 20. ===== STATS AND INTRO FACTS Facts and Stats on consumption patterns
