Discussion 1: Assessment of Alcohol Use in Selected Populations
Uses for alcohol in society range from an ingredient used to flavor grandma’s holiday cake to debilitating physiological dependence. Millions of people drink an alcoholic beverage daily without experiencing any harmful consequences. Governments regulate the use of alcohol, although it remains legal. Regardless of the legal availability of alcohol and social acceptance of its consumption, alcohol is misused by many people and continues to pose a threat to individuals and society today.
There are certain populations that are at a greater risk for alcohol misuse and addiction than others. What makes a population more at risk, and why is it more difficult to assess these individuals?
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources. Select a population you consider at risk for alcohol misuse and addiction. Search the Walden Library for a current article on your selected population, specifically why this population is at risk for addiction, to support your post.
Post a description of your selected population at risk for alcohol misuse or addiction and explain why they are at risk. Discuss why assessment of alcohol use might be more difficult for this selected population. Identify two assessment instruments that could be used to assess your selected population and explain why you would use these assessments.
