MacKinnon, David P.; Nohre, Liva; Pentz, Mary Ann; Stacy, Alan W.
American Journal of Public Health, v90 n10 p1589-94 Oct 2000
Examined the effect of alcohol warning labels on adolescents during the first 5 years that the warning was required. Surveys of 10th and 12th grade students over 5 years indicated that the initial positive effects of the labels on adolescents leveled off after 3.5 years. The labels have not affected adolescents' beliefs about alcohol or alcohol-related behaviors. (SM)
