In summary, we have seen that there isn't sufficient data available to properly assess this problem, but from what exists we are fairly sure that teen-age alcohol abuse is on the rise. We have also noted that there are many area agencies for alcoholics, but that there is not much coordinated effort, and essentially none for teen-agers. This is probably due to its being a relatively new trend and that many people are apparently refusing to admit that it exists. Also covered were possible causes for this new problem and the various roles of nurses in prevention. These include school nurses, public health nurses, and others in community and state politics, promotion of new educational methods, family teaching both at home and in the hospital, new responsibilities of the school nurse, and research. These are challenging roles, but also very important considering that these teen-agers who are flirting with trouble today will be rearing families and defining social behavior tomorrow.
总之，我们发现没有足够的数据来恰当评估这个问题，但就现有数据而言，我们相当确定青少年酗酒现象正在上升。我们还注意到有许多针对酗酒者的地区机构，但协调工作做得很少，而且基本上没有针对青少年的机构。这可能是因为这是一个相对较新的趋势，而且许多人显然拒绝承认它的存在。文中还讨论了这个新问题的可能成因以及护士在预防工作中的各种角色。这些角色包括学校护士、公共卫生护士以及社区和州政治领域的其他人员、推广新的教育方法、在家庭和医院进行家庭教育、学校护士的新职责以及研究。这些都是具有挑战性的角色，但考虑到如今这些与麻烦打交道的青少年明天将组建家庭并界定社会行为，这些角色也非常重要。
