Request the Social Services Department in consultation with

incidence of drug and alcohol abuse related to reported cases
of child abuse and elder abuse in Contra Costa County. The
report should be sumitted to the Board of Supervisors by
April 1, 1987 ,
BACKGROUND
I have been told by Social Services Workers in protective
services assignments that there is an increase in child abuse
cases where drug and alcohol abuse are also involved. If this
is the case, then it should be documented and shared with the
public as one more piece of evidence as to why the war on
substance abuse is so critical.
