US-Survey on Underage Drinking
Samstag 27. März 2010 von htm
More than a quarter of youth aged 12-20 (27.6 percent) drank alcohol in the past month, according to a survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The study shows that the underage drinking rates were as high as 40 percent in some states such as North Dakota and Vermont.
In a major effort to combat the epidemic of underage drinking, SAMHSA and the Ad Council today launched a new series of national public service advertisements to encourage parents to talk to their children about drinking alcohol at an early age. The campaign and study are being released in conjunction with Alcohol Awareness Month (April) and as part of the Surgeon General’s „Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking.“ The PSAs are being distributed to media outlets throughout the country and will also be available on line at the campaign’s online fulfillment here.
