Pharmacist and physician evaluation of drug information sources.

A survey was conducted to compare how pharmacists and physicians in Tennessee rated six sources of drug information (journals, textbooks, physicians, pharmacists, the Physicians' Desk Reference and detail men) in nine different categories. A one-page questionnaire was mailed to a 10% random sample of pharmacists and physicians. The physicians rated professional journals and the PDR consistently good and rated the pharmacist poor as a source of drug information. Pharmacists rated textbooks good and rated physicians poor for some categories of information. Both groups found the available information in certain categories to be inadequate.

Youth Alternative Sentencing Program: a description and evaluation of an alcohol and marijuana intervention program.

An alternative program was designed for youth who were charged with an alcohol or marijuana offense in San Bernardino County, California. In place of a conviction, the youth could attend an extended educational program that emphasized their ability to change behavior and to understand the consequences of risk-taking behavior. An evaluation was completed by the participants, demonstrating that this population of youth began to experiment with alcohol and marijuana around 12 and 13 years of age. A large number of youths were identified for nontraffic offenses, which offered an opportunity to intervene before members of this population become involved in a motor vehicle crash.
