Prof. Slater, Hayes, and Ewoldsen's alcohol-related research featured on OSU's homepage

Congratulations to Michael Slater, Andrew Hayes, and Dave Ewoldsen for their alcohol in news research that is currently featured on OSU.edu's homepage under the news category!

Their study analyzed whether new stories that mentioned alcohol in relation to violent crimes and accidental injuries impacted support for liquor law enforcement. Results demonstrated that those who read the articles mentioning alcohol’s role later showed more support for enforcing laws regarding serving intoxicated people, sales to underage youth and open containers, compared to those who had read articles that did not mention alcohol's role.

For more details on the study, please refer to the following: http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/alcoholnews.htm

Also, the full research article will be available in the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drug>>> http://www.jsad.com/

Congratulations again to Professor's Slater, Hayes & Ewoldsen!
