## Abstract

This project is designed to study the short- and long-term impact
of alcohol warning labels among Hispanic adults.  Specifically,
the study proposed here will (a) measure for five years the level
of awareness of the existence of alcohol warning labels; (b)
identify the impact of the alcohol warning labels in terms of
changes in self-reported drinking behavior; (c) measure the
reactions of Hispanic adults to the messages in terms of their
perceived usefulness and credibility, their effect on motivating
the individual to find more information about the effects of
alcohol intake as well as the beliefs (knowledge) the respondents
have regarding the effects of drinking alcoholic beverages.  This
study will target Hispanics (primarily Mexican- and Central-
Americans) who in recent studies have shown high prevalence rates
and the behavioral and health effects of excessive alcohol
consumption (high proportion of homicide victims with alcohol in
their blood; chronic liver disease as a primary cause of death
for males; high proportion of drunk driving arrests).  The study
will follow a cohort of approximately 500 adult Hispanics for
five years (first interviewed during the Summer of 1989).  In
addition, cross-sectional random samples of 2,000 adult Hispanics
will be interviewed every year for five years.  The differential
effect of gender, age, and acculturation level of the respondents
will be analyzed for all of the data collected.
