Abstract

The Regional Alcoholism Systems Project (RASP) was undertaken as the first step in developing a comprehensive alcoholism program for a region of North Carolina. One of the first such programs to employ a systems approach, it began in 1969 and after design and engineering stages, which the authors describe in detail, it is now being implemented. Changes in the approach toward dealing with alcoholism resulting from the RASP approach are outlined.
