Attending an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting: A Pilot Study of an Experiential Learning Activity on the Family Medicine Clerkship.

CONCLUSIONS: Attendance at a single AA meeting increased students' awareness of community resources, including AA, for patients who abuse or misuse alcohol. Because students also reported increased perceived self-confidence regarding explaining AA to patients and assessing patients for alcohol addiction, attendance at an AA meeting has the potential to affect future patient care.
