USA: Does Changing the Legal Drinking Age Make a Difference?
Sonntag 12. Dezember 2010 von htm
This article extends the compartmental model previously developed by Scribner et al. in the context of college drinking to a mathematical model of the consequences of lowering the legal drinking age.
Using data available from 32 U.S. campuses, the analyses separate underage and legal age drinking groups into an eight-compartment model with different alcohol availability (wetness) for the underage and legal age groups. …
Results suggest that an unrealistically extreme combination of high wetness and low enforcement would be needed for the policies related to lowering the drinking age to be effective. (Source: Alcohol Reports, 12/11/10) jsad.com 1/1/11
