Alcohol control: issues in taxing, production, and distribution.

Many developing nations are experiencing increasing problems associated with their people's increasing use of the drug alcohol. Economic interests and the governments' need for revenue are predominant and obscure the need for the governments to accept their public health responsibilities. As indicated in this paper, the control of alcohol problems requires developing nations' governments to take a balanced approach to taxing, production, and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, the UN and the developed nations must participate in these endeavors to ensure that the developing nations will not be exploited commercially.

A model for the evaluation of statewide substance abuse prevention programs.

A recently completed study of the existing substance abuse prevention programs in Iowa is discussed. Content analyses were made of three sets of material: the prevention grants made to (1) community agencies and (2) community/parents' groups which were funded by the Iowa Department Substance Abuse, and (3) state agency documents. The findings revealed that there were articulation problems between the agencies and that the projects were vaguely conceived and evaluated.

Undergraduate social work programs as health resources in rural areas: needs assessment as an example.

Undergraduate social work programs in rural areas can meet their students' learning needs and function as integral parts of the community health system, at the same time. Based on open systems and exchange theories, the author advocates enhanced resource sharing between undergraduate programs and community social and health agencies. Within the context of the need for increased experiential learning opportunities for students and for planning activities appropriate for student participation, a successful deinstitutionalization needs assessment project is described. As a generic model, the project has applicability to other health problem areas and settings.

Minority alcoholism programs: issues in service delivery models.

This article describes how one metropolitan community attempted to set up a program to treat Black alcoholics. The effort is analyzed from direct service and administrative perspectives. When this program failed, an alternative model was developed. The two programs are compared, and an integrated model for minority community alcoholism services is proposed.

The integration of services of a medical clinic and a community mental health center in a rural area.

This article describes the authors' use of open systems theory and exchange theory as a model for integrating the services to clients by the Community Medical Group (a private medical clinic) and the Mississippi River Human Services Center (a federally funded public community mental health center). As the directors of their two programs, the authors specifically patterned the integration of their services after the systems theory model of inputs, processing, and outputs. Expensive duplication of services was avoided, and the two programs worked together to develop needed programs to serve the emotionally troubled, the alcohol/drug abuser, and the developmentally disabled in their service area.
