چکیده
Hazardous alcohol consumption of children, adolescents and young adults has been increasing for several years in Germany. Alcohol prevention programs are intended to stop this development. For the review of the efficacy of these programs the German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information (DIMDI) has commissioned a health technology assessment (HTA) which has given an international overview of the efficacy of alcohol prevention measures. German alcohol prevention measures are insufficiently included in scientific electronic data bases. This report has therefore the aim to find out the efficacy of German alcohol prevention programs and the federal structures of funding bodies.
