A primary purpose of the organization called Alateen is to:
  1. Provide social support and coping strategies to teenagers affected by alcoholism in their families.
  2. Secure funding for and present alcohol prevention programs in public high schools.
  3. Develop alcohol recovery programs based on the developmental characteristics of teenagers.
  4. Establish partnerships with public agencies in communities with high rates of alcoholism.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. Alateen is a part of the Al-Anon Family Groups. Their focus is to bring together teenagers who have been affected by alcoholism in their families so that they can share their experiences and learn effective ways to cope with problems. As a support group for teenagers who are affected by someone else's drinking problem, Alateen does not present alcohol prevention programs in high schools (B), develop alcohol recovery programs (C), or seek out relationships with public agencies in communities with high rates of alcoholism (D).
