In these families members tend to adjust their behaviors and take on certain roles to cope with

self-destructive. PURPOSE: To empower participants by giving them some tools to examine their
lives, not to tell them that the way they are behaving is dysfunctional or based strictly on
dysfunction." Better than this description makes it sound. Excellent

UNDERSTANDING ALCOHOL TEACHING MODULE
http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih3/alcohol/guide/guide_toc.htm
A web-based teaching module with six lessons, activities and worksheets. "Understanding Alcohol:
Investigations into Biology and Behavior has four objectives. The first is to help students
understand how alcohol consumption affects the functioning of the body. By focusing on the
scientific issues that explain how the body reacts to alcohol, the module seeks to help students
make informed decisions about the use of alcohol in their lives.
The second objective is to use the topic of alcohol as a way to understand important scientific
concepts. The activities in this module incorporate concepts such as concentration and solubility
(miscibility), as well as build important skills in observation, critical thinking, experimental
design, and data analysis. The third objective is to convey to students the purpose of scientific
research. Scientific research changes the way we understand the world around us and gives
us the foundation for improving our choices about our personal health and the health of the public. In this module, students see that science provides evidence that can be used to support ways of understanding and treating human
disease. Because the mission of NIAAA includes increasing the public’s understanding about
the causes, consequences, treatment, and prevention of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems,
the Institute believes that education provides one context in which it can fulfill its mission.
We have designed the lessons in this module to encourage students to think about the relationships
among knowledge, choice, behavior, and enhanced human health in this way:..."  The final
objective is to encourage students to think in terms of these relationships now and as they grow older." Excellent
