Emergency room doctors are now being trained on screening patients that are coming in for alcohol abuse problems; this creates an opportunity for these physicians to be actively involved in helping to reduce the growing rate of alcoholism within the community.
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services also recommends enhanced enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to minors to reduce such sales.
