Parents of Tippecanoe County high school students will receive a brochure in the mail that focuses on three areas of alcohol use among teens. According to the 2000 Indiana Prevention Resource Center survey, there is high alcohol use among high school students. Many area youth say they get access to alcohol from adults, at times, their parents. The goal of this initiative is to get parents to talk to high school students about alcohol and the dangers of underage drinking and take action to reduce access to alcohol.
Research also shows that parents have a major impact on the decisions of their children.
The brochure was, at first, designed for parents of high school juniors and seniors to address alcohol use at post-prom and graduation parties. After positive feedback, the audience has now been broadened to parents of all high school students. Terms of Service Contact us with comments, concerns, or questions. Inc. A Gannett Site.
