Overall Purpose
The website that is being reviewed is available on https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa65/aa65.htm . The website is a great resource of information for any sociologist that needs information about alcohol abuse in the cases that happened before 2005. The website is supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and therefore, offers a comprehensive list of the tools that the government has available for social workers who deal with people affected by alcohol abuse on a regular basis. This specific site provides information on how social workers can identify alcohol abuse in adolescents.
Resources Available to Social Worker
There are several resources that are listed for social workers who are interested in the mental health of their clients. For instance, the site provides information on how a social worker can screen a person he or she suspects suffers from alcohol abuse. Furthermore, it provides an Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) that facilitates the screening process. The site also provides a scale in which social workers can use to identify the symptoms of abuse in their clients. There is information for people who are pregnant and how the social workers can navigate that situation as well as the various national resources that are at the disposal of social workers. All of the information on this website is backed by resources from established sources of information.

How Resources Can Specifically Aid Social Work
These resources can be used by social workers in finding information that is necessary when they are dealing with alcohol abusers. The information helps them identify adolescents in various settings who might be suffering from alcohol abuse. Equipping social workers with information enables them to perform their duties more effectively in their various work settings.
