A MESSAGE TO MY PATIENTS

As part of an extensive program of deterrents to prevent alcohol-related fatal crashes, the DOT has prepared a placard and pamphlets for physicians' offices encouraging patients to discuss with their doctors potential or current signs of alcohol problems in themselves or members of their families. The actual methods employed in the project and the results derived are described. Among the advantages of this placard-pamphlet distribution is that the physician is alegted to the possibility of dealing directly with alcoholism, and he learns of a resource otherwise unused--the local Alcoholism Council.
