[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 2929158, member: 561910"] The premise is that familiarity with the disease concept of alcoholism will result in less stigmatization of alcoholics.. or it wont (most likely IMO). There is one aspect of the project that we haven't done yet and that is surveying alcoholics in treatment programs. I'm not sure exactly how that will fit in though (since our premise should be able to be suppported or rejected with the survey data from the city residents). I suppose maybe we will use the results from alcoholics to either support the validity of our other findings or reject them. There are already many flaws and limitations inherent to me in the project..mostly involving methodology.. but my intent isn't really making a substantial contribution to the field.. its learning the process. I knew when i registered for this that it would be one of those things that half way through it i would be cursing my choice and doubting my ability to succeed. Those are always the most rewarding classes though, or the ones that go down in flames. 50/50 shot. [/QUOTE]
