INTRODUCTION 

PURPOSE 

This inspection identified a sample of national, State, and local programs that educate 

youth about (1) the health and social effects of using alcohol, (2) State alcohol laws 

and penalties for minors, and (3) ways to resist alcohol and increase self-esteem. 

BACKGROUND 

In responseto public health concernsand the adversehealth effects of alcohol abuse, 

Surgeon General Antonia Novello requested that the Office of Inspector General 

(OIG) provide information on State alcohol laws and enforcement. These concerns 

mirror one of Department of Health and Human Services(HHS) Secretary Louis 

Sullivan’s goals which is to reduce the prevalence of alcohol problems among children 

and youth. This report is one in a series of reports prepared by the OIG concerning 

youth and alcohol. 

Within HHS, OSAP is part of the Public Health Service. The OSAP leads HHS’ 

efforts to prevent alcohol and drug problems. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 

1986 created and authorized OSAP to “make grants to public and nonprofit private 

entities for projects to demonstrate effective models for prevention, treatment, and 

rehabilitation of alcohol and other drug abuse among high-risk youth.“’ The 

Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 expanded OSAP’s role to promote State involvement by 

providing competitive and block grants? 

Each year, OSAP funds prevention programs that may be replicated or adapted by 

other communities. Between 1988and 1990,OSAP funded more than 

260 multi-year grants targeted toward youth. To satisfy OSAP funding criteria, 

programs must (1) identify and reduce characteristicsin youth, families, or the 

environment that place youth at high risk, (2) build youth and family resistanceskills, 

and/or (3) encourage community leaders and groups to coordinate prevention 

programs more effectively.s The OSAP funding is usually “seed money,” with the

expectation that programs will become self-supporting before OSAP funding expires. 

Each year, OSAP publishes a booklet describing programs funded by their office.

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986also authorized ED to lead school-basedalcohol 

and drug prevention activities. Since 1987,ED has implemented about 15 programs 

that provide information, technical assistance,and financial support for drug 

prevention programs! 

In addition, the Drug-Free School Recognition Program (DFSRP) within ED 

recognizespublic and private elementary and secondaryschoolsthat educate youth 

through innovative methods.Each year, DFSRP solicits applications from schools 

about their programs and judges them against seven“indicators of success.” The 

indicators are: (1) recogni&g, assessing,and monitoring school-specificdrug 

problems; (2) setting, implementing, and enforcing strong policies; (3) teaching drug 

prevention; (4) training staff; (5) involving students in drug-free activities; (6) 

promoting parent involvement and providing parent education; and (7) interacting and 

networking with community groups and agencies.5 Each year, DFSRP publishes a 

booklet describing the recognized programs. Between 1988 and 1991,DFSRP 

recognized 184 programs nationally. 

Natbnally rec~progmm lLwaRy incorJxvuteseveml key elkmews and audienca for 

Most nationally recognized programs include the following key elements to educate 

students: (1) addressingall drugs (including alcohol), (2) concentrating on life-skills 

and self-esteem,(3) providing positive role models for students to emulate, and 

(4) identifying alternatives to alcohol and drug use by developing future goals. Instead 

of using scare tactics to discouragedrug use, nationally recognized programs use 

activities that capture and maintain student interest. 

Communities often tailor programs to their own needs and youth interests. Some 

programs focus on parents by building or reinforcing positive parenting skills. Others 

begin prevention education at age 3 and educate students through plays, animation, or 

puppets. Although the methods differ, the goal is the same: to change society’s 

attitudes and perceptions about alcohol and drugs.

Often, communities develop programs in response to a tragedy or when inspired by a 

famous speaker. The well-known “Just Say No” program was started after former 

First Lady Nancy Reagan spoke with students about resisting drugs. In Just Say No 

clubs, adults act as facilitators, while students plan and conduct club activities. Other 

programs, such as Drug Abuse ResistanceEducation (D.A.R.E.), use police as 

instructors. 

METHODOLOGY 

During August, September, and October 1991,we conducted interviews with officials 

from 46 programs. We used a three-step processto identify youth enforcement and 

prevention programs. First, we reviewed program literature from several public and 

private sourcesincluding OSAP and DFSRP. Second, during interviews with alcoholic 

beverage control (ARC) ~offi&ls from all 50 States and the District of Columbia, we 

asked them to identify innovative youth programs. Third, during interviews with 

programs identified by ARC officials, we asked for additional recommendations of 

innovative programs. 

We used a structured discussionguide during in-person or telephone interviews with 

program officials. This report summarizesthose interviews and our literature review.

For 9 months every year, Plymouth, 

New Hampshire is transformed from a 

small, rural town into a bustling college 

community. During orientation week, 

freshman students become familiar with

college policies on alcohol and drug use and attend a short presentation on 

New Hampshire alcohol laws given by the Plymouth Police Department. The police 

developed their presentation in responseto increasing alcohol-induced problems by 

college students-fights, drunk-driving crashesor injuries, and “crimes of opportunities” 

such as vandalism and thefts. 

As part of the campusAlcohol AwarenessProgram, police work with Plymouth State 

College to conduct an alcohol program 15 times throughout the year. They familiarize 

dormitory students and faculty with alcohol’s effects on the body. During the 

9Ominute program, two students,who are at least 21 years old, drink several portions 

of alcohol while police officers describe their changing reactions. At the end of the 

program, the drinkers receive sobriety and breath tests to show the levels of 

intoxication. According to Chief Libby, the program is very well received and “student 

and police relations have improved.”

Sevenyears ago in King County, 

Washington, Judge David Admire decided 

to change the way he disciplined offenders 

convicted of driving under the influence 

(DUI). He was frustrated that most 

offenders did not understand the 

magnitude of their crimes. .“Offenders 

who stand before me are usually so 

concerned with the legal sanctionsthat 

await them, they simply do not consider 

Drunk-driving victimssharetheir 

stories with DUl offenders 

J 

the harm they may causeothers. My warnings, no matter how compelling, tend not to 

be heard.” Repeat offenders were the norm. 

With the help of Shirley Anderson, whose 23-year-old son was killed by a drunk driver, 

Judge Admire established a victim’s panel. He sentencesDUI offenders to meet with 

the panel. Twice a month, a small panel of drunk driving victims or their surviving 

relatives bare their souls to 40 offenders they have never met and share the effect 

drunk drivers have had on their lives. They are not accusatoryand damning; they 

simply share the facts. This shock therapy is aimed at the cavalier offender whose 

infraction did not result in an injury but who is likely to drink and drive in the future. 

At the end of the session,offenders often give standing ovations and hugs to panel 

members. Offenders are asked to critique their experiencewith the victim’s panel. 

Typical comments are, “I can honestly say that it scaresthe hell out of me to think I 

could inflict this pain on anyone. It will never happen again,” and “I cannot critique 

such an immense flow of emotion that I can’t even fathom. By the blood of my soul, I 

will not drink and drive, and I will fight with tooth and nail those who dare.” 

Courts in 25 States have adopted the DUI victim’s panel concept. In Oregon, the 

recidivism rate among drunk drivers has dropped from 42 percent to 6 percent in just 

3 years. An Oregon study revealed that 90 percent of the offenders left with changed 

attitudes. Some schoolshave incorporated panel speakersor videotapes of actual 

panels into their driver’s education classes.

Operation EAGLE (ExcessAlcohol Guarantees Law Enforcement) is “on patrol.” 

In the spring of 1988,North Carolina highway patrol and alcohol law enforcement 

officials joined forces to reduce alcohol-related traffic crashesor injuries. They 

developed Operation EAGLE to identify problem drivers. North Carolina officials 

were concerned about drinking and driving, especiallyyouth who drank beer and wine. 

Now, undercover agents in bars and taverns watch for salesand serviceto intoxicated 

patrons. As these patrons leave, agentsrelay the car license information to police at 

highway sobriety checkpoints. 

During its first operation, Operation EAGLE received extensivemedia coverage. Live 

television coverageshowed highway patrol and local police as they were briefed for 

the operation. Then, television camerascovered checkpoints and on-the-spot arrests. 

News media publicized that 70 to 80 percent of the people checked through the 

checkpoints were minors. 

Now in its third year, Operation EAGLE has expanded throughout the State. The 

percent of intoxicated drivers continues to decreaseeach year--from 25 percent in the 

first year to 23 percent in the secondyear and 16 percent in the third year. As the 

program’s Deputy Director commented, “Public education works!”

At first, the court sceneappears typical. The 

defendant stands as the jury reads the sentencefor 

alcohol consumption on a public beach. A closer 

look reveals that everyone in the courtroom, with 

the exception of the judge and a few audience I I members, is a juvenile. This is not a mock trial. srudentsThe defendant nervously listens to his sentence--24 jury members,bailiffs 

hours community service and one stint on the Teen and defendants in actual 

court. juvenile court cases 

The Teen Court program provides the judicial 

systemwith an effective and low-cost way to deal with juveniles who have committed a 

misdemeanor for the first time. The primary purpose is to stop first time offenders 

from becoming repeat offenders. The right blend of positive peer pressure, 

accountability, and leniency both frightens offenders and gives them a second chance. 

An additional benefit is the education youth receive about rights and responsibilities, 

decision-making, the legal system,and drugs and alcohol. To serve on the court, youth 

are recommended by their teachers,can apply on their own, or are ordered by the 

court. 

The court handles referrals from the Juvenile Probation Department. After pleading 

guilty to the charge, the juvenile and his parents are informed of their choice to use 

either the juvenile court systemor the Teen Court. If Teen Court is chosen,a trial 

date is set, and the youngster signsa contract agreement to appear and accept the 

decision. An actual juvenile court judge instructs the jury on available penalties and -- leavesthe rest to them. 

Teen Court has received nothing but rave reviews. Comments include, “I felt peer 

pressure and didn’t think the kids on the teen jury would like me. I thought they 

would give me a big sentence,but they were fair.” and ‘Excellent program--kids get a 

chance to make up for a mistake they’ve made, but also pay the consequencethrough 

community service.”

NATIONAL 3l8 c(3MMuNTI”y. 

Thirteen years ago, the National Council on 

Alcoholism developed Beginning Alcohol and 

Addiction Basic Education Studies (BABES). 

The Washington State Council on 

Alcoholism and Drug Dependence utilizes 

one part of the BABES program called 

BABES Alive. This program usespuppets 

to addressseveral family problems, including 

drugs and alcohol. 

The same characters star in each show-two 

kittens named Buttons and Bows, a fluffy squirrel named Myth Mary, a wise old owl 

named Donovan Dignity, Rhonda Rabbit, Early Bird, and a recovering alcoholic dog 

named Recovering Reggie. Buttons and Bows are the main characters, and each story 

centers on their problems about peer pressure,self-esteem,abuse, and drugs and 

alcohol. The other puppets portray common human personality traits. For example, 

Donovan Dignity portrays an adult who offers straightforward solutions, while Myth 

Mary always confusesissuesby advocatingsociety’s.opinions. Programs end with frank 

discussions. Common-senseissuesare addressedin a gentle and nonjudgmental way. 

While BABES originally was developed for elementary school students, the program 

now is divided into 5 student groups--preschool,kindergarten-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 

lO-12th grades. The BABES program developed sevenstories for each student group. 

According to the Executive Director of the Washington program, the appeal is 

widespread becausethe programs present alcohol and drug problems and information 

in an attractive and believable manner. Puppets keep the younger children’s attention, 

while older students actively participate in the show by becoming “puppeteers.”

Traditional law enforcement could not control Los Angeles’ growing drug and alcohol 

problems. To stem the growth, the police department developed a new program in 

cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District--Drug Abuse Resistance 

Education (D.A.R.E.). D.A.R.E. is aimed at preventing youngstersfrom having their 

first drug experience and has spread quickly throughout the country and around the 

world. Officers representing 3,500 law enforcement agenciesare trained to teach 

D.A.R.E. and will reach more than 5 million children in 1991. 

Specially selected and trained uniformed police officers teach a prevention school 

curriculum once a week for 17 weeks. The core lessons(1) inform students of alcohol 

and drug dangers, (2) provide them with resistanceand decision-making skills to 

combat peer pressure, (3) build self-esteem,and (4) develop alternatives to drug use. 

Initially, the program targeted only 5th and 6th graders, but it quickly expanded to 

other grades. To become a D.A.R.E. instructor, officers complete a mandatory 

80-hour training course. 

In 1990,an independent researchfirm completed the first evaluation of D.A.R.E.. 

The longitudinal study revealed that two-thirds of D.A.R.E. students agreed that they 

use fewer drugs or have decided to use fewer drugs becauseof what they learned 

through D.A.R.E. The study also found that (1) students find it easier to combat peer 

pressure, (2) study habits and grades have improved, (3) disciplinary actions have 

declined, and (4) students respect police officers more. The true test for D.A.R.E. will 

come as its first graduates fill the high schoolsin the coming years. 

D.A.R.E. America administers the program and distributes educational materials. 

Corporate and private companiesprovide funds to enable some communities to 

receive D.A.R.E. at no cost.

IIARPER HIGH RAP TEAM 

As rehearsal begins, the now familiar 

beat identifies the musical sound as 

‘rapping.’ The Harper High School Rap 

Team practices their songsso students 

will hear the anti-drug messagesloudly 

and clearly. 

During the 198Os,school counselor John 

Zeigler sought a more effective way to 

prevent students from using alcohol and drugs. He wanted to “have an impact” on 

students while keeping their attention. Thus, he assignedstudents to analyze popular 

rap songsand answer questionssuch as: What is the message? Why does it appeal to 

you? Then, students wrote and performed their own anti-drug rap songs. 

The anti-drug rap assignmentsgrew into a new vision. In 1989,students formed the 

30-member, all-volunteer Harper High School Rap Team. They write their own songs 

and are the actors, dancers,and production staff. At the beginning of the school year, 

the team holds auditions to recruit new members. Members must maintain a C grade 

average and have parental consent to join the team. The Rap Team usually performs 

in schoolsand community centers. They also have performed at conferences,such as 

the Young African Americans Conference and the National Crime Convention in 

Miami. 

Mr. Zeigler also seesthe Rap Team as a way for students to develop self-esteemand 

responsibility. Students scheduleand run their own practices. A few years ago, they 

seldom saw anyone rising above the “drug scene”and knew few alternatives to “street 

life.” Now, Harper High studentsunderstand they have better choices. Another part 

of Mr. Zeigler’s vision is to prepare students for college.

In January 1985,First Lady Nancy Reagan spoke to 

students about the importance of resisting drugs. 

Inspired by Mrs. Reagan’s advice to “just say no,” the 

first Just Say No (JSN) club was formed in Oakland, 

California in 1985. Now, there are more than 15,000 

national and more than 12,000international clubs. 

The JSN clubs are for 7-to 14-year-oldstudentswho 

want to lead drug-free lives and help their peers do the 

same. While adults are facilitators, students organize 

educational, social, and recreational activities. 

According to Ms. Ivy Cohen, JSN International 

President, “We provide a clear anti-drug environment 

where kids feel comfortable. We teach alcohol, tobacco, and drug education as well as 

resistanceskills, leadership, team building, and decision-nflaking skills.” 

In 1989,JSN International joined forces with public housing authorities in six cities to 

develop a 2-year pilot project. The JSN International staff trained local residents as 

adult club .leaders and then set up clubswithin the housing authorities. Project 

coordinators, appointed by the housing authorities, work with adult club leaders and 

JSN International. The public housing initiative was a success.At the end of the 

initiative, students expressedstrong anti-drug attitudes, well-developed resistanceskills, 

and renewed personal values. In September 1990,JSN International expanded the 

housing authority initiative from six to eight cities. Each housing authority has at least 

5 clubs with a minimum of 25 members each. The expanded initiativee will last 

through August 1992. 

Just Say No International provides various free servicesto existing clubs and 

communities interested in forming clubs,including educational materials, on-site 

training for club leaders, and coordination of annual national events (Back-to-School 

Month and the Spring Walkathon).

show ends, students talk excitedly about the programs. Once again, messagesfrom 

“Be Excellent” or “Harmony” have sparked discussion. 

Motivational Media Assembliescreates and produces the 4Ominute programs. Each 

*program runs for 2 years and targets 6th through 9th grade students. One of the 

programs examinesalcohol and drug use, abuse,and their effects. The programs use 

music, movie clips, and celebrity/student interviews. Student interviews are particularly 

effective in relating true-life stories about alcohol use, drinking and driving accidents, 

and resistancetechniques. A companion curriculum guide helps teachers generate 

classdiscussionsand reinforce the programs. 

During 1990,3,000 secondaryschoolsaround the country viewed the programs. For 

the past severalyears, Pepsi-Cola and Taco Bell have paid the annual production 

costs. Professional athletes, rock stars, and other celebrities often donate their talent 

to the productions. Local Pepsi-Cola bottlers and Taco Bell franchisessponsoredtwothirds of the school assemblies. Motivational Media Assembliesalso works with 

various police departments and community Project Graduation parties to present 

programs in local communities.

Healthy drug-free children is the goal of the Ohio Parents for Drug Free Youth 

(OPDFY). Four years ago, Judge Andy Devine of Toledo organized the first 

gathering of interested parties from around the State. Soon the nonprofit, statewide 

organization was born. 

To raise children free from alcohol and drugs, OPDFY concentrates on family 

empowerment and community mobilization. The OPDFY deemed parent involvement 

essential. Thus, while most organizations focus on youth, OPDFY servesas an 

information clearinghouse and a consultant for parent groups. It (1) provides support, 

technical assistance,and funding information for new and establishedlocal parent 

groups, (2) advocateslegislation, (3) represents a unified parent voice for the 

development of strategies,and (4) develops initiatives at the local, regional, and State 

levels. 

The OPDFY establishesa statewide network by recruiting one person from each 

county to act as a liaison. This network allows OPDFY to stay abreast of current local 

issuesand provide technical assistance.The OPDFY President seestwo main 

challengesto local groups-raising alcohol awarenessand preventing parent burnout. 

The OPDFY also provides speakers,a directory of all the county parent/prevention 

groups, and a newsletter. It is also the State sponsor for the National.Red R&bon 

Campaign.

OPERATION PROM/GRADUATION

Ai5sIsrANcEFoRLocAL~­ m- MsETuPDRuGmEEAcrMTxEs STATEWIDE urmER2l 

A group of high school seniors engagesin 

lively discussionabout prom and graduation 

activities. They debate whether to hire a 

rock band, rent a mobile recording booth 

for students to “produce” their own audio 

tapes, or both. As the students create 

more and more ideas, you realize they are 

planning the annual alcohol and drug-free 

Operation Prom/Graduation party. 

Six years ago, the Virginia Departments of 

Education and Motor Vehicles (DMV) 

started Virginia’s Operation 

Prom/Graduation. The concept originated in Maine over 8 years ago. The program 

helps Virginia schools and communities organize their own alcohol and drug-free prom 

and graduation activities. Operation Prom/Graduation’s successhas grown from a few 

schoolsin northern Virginia. to about 85 percent of schoolsstatewide. 

Operation Prom/Graduation provides a planning guide and a resource packet to 

communities. The 150-pageplanning guide describeshow to plan activities, solicit 

community support, provide security, and organize clean-up after the events. It also 

includes samplesof successfulcommunity projects and activities, such as local rock 

bands and cotton candy machine rentals. Samplesvary, so communities can gear their 

activities to available funds. The resource packet has several items, including 

community coordinator guidelines, sample invitations to school principals, and parent 

brochures with brief information about State alcohol laws and social host 

responsibilities. 

Operation Prom/Graduation receivesfunding primarily from the Virginia DMV and 

donations from private organizations. Local activities often qualify for DMV grants or 

Drug-Free School funds through the U.S. Department of Education.

community prevention boards to assess 

local needs and design community-specificprograms.. Prevention boards frequently 

include politicians, the police, the media, health personnel, parents, and young people. 

After the programs begin, Oregon TOGETHER! provides technical assistance 

primarily through information sharing and troubleshooting. j 

Oregon TOGETHER! teachescommunities to recognize risk factors that lead to drug 

abuse. Risk factors may include a family history of alcoholism, academic failure 

beginning in elementary school, friends who use drugs, and lax or unenforced alcohol 

laws. The greater the number of factors present in a youth’s life, the greater the 

potential for drug abuse. 

Oregon TOGETHER! helps the community develop specially tailored programs to 

addressits needs. Programs emphasizetotal community involvement and 

strengthening social bonds. Examples are parenting programs, revised community laws 

and norms concerning alcohol use and abuse,early childhood education, local media 

involvement, and drug-free school zones. 

Established in 1990, Oregon TOGETHER! is a joint effort of the Oregon Prevention 

Resource Center and the University of Washington School of Social Work. The 

project now operates in 35 Oregon communities and hopes to expand to 100 

communities by 1994.

their parents. With private funding, Mr. Kauffman started Project STAR (Students 

Taught Awareness and Resistance). 

Project STAR is a community-wide, prevention program aimed at reducing alcohol 

and drug abuse. Project STAR provides consulting and training servicesfor schools 

and communities that want to implement comprehensiveprevention programs. The 

program targets 7th and 8th grade students. Teachers provide in-depth material on 

(1) the effects of drug use, (2) resistancetechniques, (3) peer pressure, (4) advertising 

techniques and effects, and (5) how to make informed decisions. 

Project STAR believes that parents should know and understand their own influence 

on their children. Several sessionsinclude homework assignmentsthat students and 

parents complete together. These lessonsdevelop interpersonal and social skills and 

promote communication about attitudes about alcohol and drug use and abuse. The 

program trains parents to support their children’s resistanceskills through active 

involvement in school-basedprograms. a 

Project STAR now receivesfunding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse 

through a grant to the University of Southern California. This project is part of the 

Midwest Prevention Project.

ANDSCOPE AGEGROUP I P-Al-ION I 

Students stand quietly at the hospital nursery room 

window and view the underweight babies. They now 

see how mothers’ alcohol and drug use harms their 

babies. Local district attorneys, nurses,and teachers 

offer 5th~gradeand advanced4thgrade students in 

Bronx, New York schoolsa realistic look at the health 

and legal effects of drug and alcohol use. A former 

St district attorney developed Pupils, Lawyers, and Nurses Studentsview fit-hand Against Drugs (PLAN.) 3 years ago in responseto the consequences of drugs the rising rates of acquired immune deficiency and alcohot 

syndrome (AIDS) among Bronx students. P.LA.N. is 

funded through the Asset Forfeiture Program (money 

confiscated during drug salesbusts) and city funds. 

During the first week of the 4-week program, nursesteach students about the health 

effects of alcohol and drug abuse,AIDS and intravenous drug use, and refusal skills. 

Also, students are introduced to professionalswho are combating drugs in their 

community-nurses, attorneys, and judges. During the secondweek, students visit a 

community hospital to view newborn babies. They compare sizesof babies in the 

regular nursery to babies with alcohol and drug withdrawal symptomsin the neonatal 

intensive care nursery. As Dr. Kern Louie, program coordinator, commented, ‘The 

compassionfrom the children is wonderful.” In week three, students visit a courthouse 

to observe an actual trial-usually for a drug dealer. After the trial, the judge talks 

with students about the judicial processand the legal consequencesof drug-dealing. 

During the last week, students conduct their own moot court in the actual courtroom. 

The district attorney rehearsesvarious parts with the students, and the proceeding is 

videotaped and sent to the school. The moot court reinforces the morality of refusing 

drugs. After the program, studentsreceive P.LA.N. certificates for participating in the 

program.

The Virginia &c&o1 Beverage Control 

(ABC) Information Division has 

developed three education programs 

concerning youth and alcohol-the 

Minors Awareness Program, the Annual 

College Conference, and Campaign 21. 

The Minors Awareness Program targets middle and senior high school students. The 

ABC trained 18 agents in public speaking, and they give the school presentations. 

Their presentations include an educational alcohol videotape and student questionand-answersessions. Since the ABC agentslook young, they can establish a faster and 

better rapport with students. 

The ABC also sponsorsan annual statewide College Conference. Participants from 

more than 70 colleges and universities.attend. Now in its 6th year, the College 

Conference promotes compliance with ABC laws and regulations and publicizes 

alternatives to alcohol-related social activities. The 25person steering committee 

includes college students and helps develop the conference agenda of 30 to 40 sessions 

and identifies national speakers. 

In June 1987,the Virginia ABC launched Campaign 21 to publicize the new State . 

drinking age. Using the slogan, “It’s 21 for everyone and for all alcoholic beverages,” 

radio and television stations aired the messageas public service announcementsduring 

prime time. The campaign includes posters, college newspaper art work, and vendor 

decals.

WASHINGTON STATE ASSOCIATION OF BROTwo years ago, the Washington State Association of 

Broadcasters (WSAB) formed a task force to prevent 

alcohol use and abuseby young people. The task 

force’s initial goal was to “accomplish something 

meaningful and long-term.” Specifically, the task 

force wanted to: (1) provide broadcasterswith 

accurate, current information about alcohol use Bt&castcrs usedteen and/or abuse; (2) develop screening criteria for focusgzuupswhile broadcast materials; (3) provide an advisory group to developinga handbookof 

screenbroadcast substanceabuse materials, as well responsible alcohol

as provide sourcesfor information, interviews and policiesfor broadresearch; and (4) work with advertising agencies, 

breweries and wineries to help them produce 

commercials that would discouragethe appeal of alcohol to young people ages15 to 

20. To accomplish these goals, WSAB used teen focus groups who addressedsuch 

issuesas teen alcohol use, peer pressure, and current and future public service 

announcements(PSAS). 

The WSAB also developed a handbook, ‘Tough Choices: Tackling the Teen Alcohol 

Problem.” The handbook outlines responsible policies regarding programming, the 

newsroom, and PSAs. It discussesissuessuch as: Is a radio/TV station consciousof 

program content? Are teen alcohol PSAs used and evaluated? Does the newsroom 

have a written policy on alcohol coverage?Does the station portray alcohol as an 

acceptable form of celebration, such as spring break and team victories? 

The program’s executive director believes the handbook can help the broadcast 

community, not only in Washington State but throughout the country, to portray 

responsible images and utilize the media for positive gains.
