Abstract

This article summarizes the Christian, Druze, and Moslem part of an Israeli study which was carried out in 1988 in the framework of an international comparative project conducted simultaneously also in Australia and in the USA in order to compare the perception of a set of 64 magazine alcohol advertisements by youth from three nations and various cultural and religious groups within those nations. This study is a breakthrough in the Christian, Druze, and Moslem sectors, since it is the first project in the "alcohol domain" among high school students from those sectors. The article presents the results concerning Christian, Druze, and Moslem adolescents' attitudes toward magazine alcohol advertisements. The results have implications for prevention efforts among adolescents from those three religions.
