An analysis of the potency of alcohol education within driving education is presented. It is argued that implementation of alcohol related questions in the compulsory theory examination may positively affect knowledge levels, and also may indirectly affect attitudes dependent on "teachers style". In order to facilitate the implementation of the examination questions, a set of alcohol related questions was designed to fit the pattern of the current theory examination. These questions were shown to be valid and reliable. The newly developed set of questions was also used to evaluate an "alcohol course" designed by a military organisation. This course was shown to increase knowledge by a slight, but statistically significant level. Item analysis showed that one third of the items post-test reponses were wrong, while the pre-test responses had been correct. This finding indicates that the course has weaknesses in several parts. No effects were found on attitudes, behaviour intentions or self-reported behaviour. See also irrd 828575 and 829526.(A)
