Elementary school-based prevention of adolescent alcohol misuse
Abstract:
The literature on the prevention of alcohol misuse and other substance abuse shows that most prevention program efforts to date have not been successful. Some possible reasons for this lack of success are discussed, and a recent, promising approach to the problem is outlined. An example of that approach, the Alcohol Misuse Prevention Study (AMPS), is described and early findings are presented. Conceptual and methodological issues considered in the design, implementation and evaluation of AMPS are discussed as examples of the planning which must go into a well-designed alcohol misuse prevention program. Issues now being raised in the evaluation of AMPS are presented with their implications for future prevention programs.

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
