Alcohol is the most commonly used substance by America’s youth, with rates of hazardous use increasing among high school students.
Prevention Component
Attempt to motivate students to change their drinking by using strategies their peers have used to successfully cut down or quit drinking.
New Strategies
We have developed helpful strategies specifically for this age group that facilitate adolescent efforts to end alcohol and drug use problems.
Long-Term Plans
The long-term objective is to make available for all youth in our community age-appropriate strategies that promote drug and alcohol free lifestyles.
