The Regional Council on Alcoholism has a role to play in educating the general public about alcoholism. Evening classes on alcoholism provide a means of reaching both the general public arid the person involved professionally with problems of alcoholism. Appropriate involvement of newspapers and television can increase the impact of suck classes. There is a need to obtain objective measurement of the success of such a venture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A hundred patients referred to an alcoholism service were assessed in terms of sexual jealousy by interview and with a Sexual Jealousy Questionnaire. The overall incidence of sexual jealousy was 35% in men and 31% in women as judged by the interview. Twenty-seven per cent of the men and 15% of the women had morbid jealousy. There was no relationship between sexual jealousy, as measured by the questionnaire, and sexual dysfunction. However, in the men there were inverse relationships between the scores for sexual jealousy and measures of sexual satisfaction and marital stability, and in the women sexual jealousy scores correlated negatively with duration of the marriage and positively with severity of alcohol dependence.
