Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed. Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles. The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being wilfully misrepresented as published articles.
Bravo, Sesame Street, for promoting fresh understanding (for children and adults) in families affected by addiction. Here in the UK, the National Association for Children of Alcoholics has accumulated a lot of experience in supporting young people (http://www.nacoa.org.uk). This year their leaflet ‘Some Mums and Dads’ was highly commended by the British Medical Association at the BMA Patient Information Awards.
