Abstract

The article discusses the key role of registered nurses in assessing high-risk drinking by midlife women in Australia. It outlines the capability of nurses to make early identification of an alcohol problem and help to reduce misdiagnosis by applying the women-oriented recommendations developed from the Australian study which include protect, prepare and prevent. The prepare strategy is expected to lead to care partnerships that enable midlife women to be proactive in their treatment.
