Alcohol Use Disorders: What is the impact of alcohol use disorders on children? What can we do better to address it? (2)

Thanks, Neil, for your contribution.

Alcohol and other substance use disorders are rising globally. The developing countries suffer disproportionately due to competing priorities from infections and other diseases. With available resources already very stretched, the regular use of the CAGE questionnaire may be of help, especially in community health setting. There is also the need to partner with schools and NGOs to reduce excessive alcohol consumption.

Kind regards,

Efe
