Rodney, H. Elaine

Journal of American College Health, v45 n1 p19-25 Jul 1996

This paper emphasizes that clinicians and those developing prevention programs should stop believing that certain characteristics are typical of all ACOAs. It makes recommendations for factors to be considered in programs for African American collegiate children of alcoholics. (SM)
