Forty housemen were sent a letter informing them of changes to the coroner's rules and emphasizing the importance of recording alcohol abuse. All relevant death certificates signed by the housemen over the next 3 months were selected for case note review to check details of the alcohol history taken and the consequent accuracy of the death certificate. A questionnaire was also sent to the housemen covering reasons for not recording alcohol abuse and knowledge of the coroner's rules. Comparison of the results with those from an earlier group of housemen who received no informatory letter suggest that minimal educational intervention can effect housemens' attitudes and practice.
