The mission of Project Extra Mile is “To create a community consensus that clearly states that underage alcohol use is illegal, unhealthy, and unacceptable.” To accomplish this mission, the project organized a community coalition with representation from public and private schools, law enforcement, the hospitality industry, prevention and safety groups, youth, health agencies and organizations, child advocacy groups, employee assistance programs, the faith community, prosecutors, emergency nurses, the media, and others. A nine-month needs assessment process, that was undertaken in 1996, continues to drive the coalition’s strategic plan which includes a variety of activities and programs including testimony to the state legislature, compliance checks of businesses licensed to sell alcohol, media advocacy, and training of high school students. The group also works with law enforcement, school administrators, parents, coaches and others to insure a clear, no-use message is communicated to underage youth. In 1999, the organization was honored by the National Commission Against Drunk Driving (NCADD) with their Community Award.

The Safe And Sober Youth (SASY) program works to provide parents of Central Virginia with the tools they need to help teens avoid at-risk behavior. The focus of the program is to fight substance abuse, teen crime, and impaired driving. Through the Virginia License Presentation Program, SASY is able to provide every new teen driver household in Chesterfield and Powhatan counties with educational safe driving information. One focus of the program is to train parents to be better driving instructors for their children. The group also runs the “DUI Means” campaign to help teens understand the consequences of impaired driving.

The Save Our Youth Coalition, initially formed to operate in the Salt Lake County area, has broadened to a statewide program. Several of projects the coalition has conducted include a statewide Cops-In-Shops program with 30 cooperating local law enforcement agencies, compliance checks, school-based information programs, public information, and store clerk training. A recreation-area patrol program has made an impact for the past several summers in the canyons surrounding Salt Lake City and statewide training and implementation of youth/peer courts, which include alcohol or alcohol-related offenses, also shows success. All eleven college campuses in the state have alcohol prevention programs and peer leadership and improvisational theater training is also conducted at the high school and junior high school level.

The Travis County Underage Drinking Prevention Program (UDPP) receives federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through a grant administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. The UDPP conducts anti-DWI/alcohol awareness public education programs for Travis County schools, participates in community events and health fairs and hosts Underage Drinking Prevention Task Force meetings on a regular basis. The UDPP has also identified the link between underage drinking and more visible social issues besides drinking and driving, such as binge drinking, teen pregnancy, fetal alcohol syndrome, unplanned/unwanted sexual encounters and alcohol poisoning. UDDP has highlighted those issues to the Travis County community to underscore the importance of reducing underage drinking. The program has also formed partnerships with a variety of county agencies in order to make a significant contribution in saving the lives of teenagers by discouraging their use of alcohol.


Rapid Response Team Pilot Sites


Coalition for a Drug-Free Tippecanoe County
P.O. Box 6223
Lafayette, IN 47903
765-471-9916
E-mail: drugfree@dcwi.com

The Task Force on Underage Drinking’s (TFUD) mission statement is to reduce underage drinking in Tippecanoe County by developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive plan and providing community-wide leadership initiatives in the areas of public policy, community involvement, law enforcement, treatment, education, and prevention. So far, TFUD has sponsored a community issue forum where parents, students, and concerned citizens gathered to talk about underage drinking, and an issues forum at Purdue University addressing the issue of underage and high risk drinking on campus. The Law Enforcement and Public Policy Committee met with local owners and managers of businesses that sell alcoholic beverages, and worked with Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking on legislation to provide voluntary alcoholic beverage server training. The Education Committee is working to gain approval for a survey in the county’s high schools.

Lenoir County Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking

P.O. Box 157
Kinston, NC 28502-0157

Fax: 252-527-1914

The executive director of the Chamber of Commerce is the father of two teenage girls and became concerned about the underage drinking problem in the county. As a result, he formed the Lenoir County Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking. One of the problems in the community is a perception among young people that no one cares if they drink. Parents often sponsor underage drinking parties and there is little fear of being caught for underage drinking offenses. To increase awareness of the problem, the group organized media coverage of the NAGHSR Rapid Response team visit and is working with a local television station to sponsor a public education effort. Law enforcement agencies and the state alcohol beverage control also worked to overcome a problem that prevented the agencies from communicating with one another during underage drinking enforcement efforts. In addition, the group was successful in obtaining funding to conduct a survey of admissions at the local emergency room to further highlight the seriousness of underage drinking in the community.

Prince George’s County, Maryland Highway Safety Program
6700 Riverdale Road
Riverdale, MD 20737

Fax: 301-731-7318

The Prince George’s County Highway Safety Program initially targeted the area of the county in and around the University of Maryland, the largest university campus in the state for their underage drinking prevention effort. A diverse group of organizations in the community representing law enforcement, secondary education, colleges and universities, board of license commissioners, substance abuse prevention, health department, and public officials came together to develop a comprehensive plan. One of the suggestions was to provide more support for students on campus who do not drink and publicize a survey about “No Drinking” choices as a socially acceptable norm. The group will also be working to remove alcohol advertising from the university’s school newspaper and will distribute copies of “Things to do Without Alcohol” that is published by the university’s health center.

Rio Arriba DWI Prevention Program
1122 Industrial Park Road
Espanola, NM 85732
505-747-1418
Fax: 505-753-6557

The Rio Arriba County DWI Prevention Program in New Mexico is a local task force formed in 1994 to coordinate anti-drinking and driving activities. Because alcohol use among teens is high in the county, the organization applied for assistance in establishing a comprehensive underage drinking prevention program. One of the goals of the comprehensive program was to establish greater coordination among the various state and local law enforcement agencies, which has been accomplished through several successful enforcement initiatives. The group has also targeted retailers in the community that have a record of sales to minors and organized a successful effort to remove a prominent billboard advertising alcohol.

Take Charge Coalition

E-mail: murphyj@co.oswego.ny.us

The Take Charge Coalition, Inc., is a not-for-profit substance abuse coalition that was formed in 1995 in response to an alcohol-related death of a local high school student. The mission of Take Charge is to empower the community to prevent alcohol and other substance abuse and to promote a community norm which supports holistic health and well being. The group works to accomplish this mission by promoting healthy alternatives, zero tolerance of illegal underage drinking, and education and awareness of situations and consequences related to alcohol and other drugs. The coalition has broad representation from service providers, business, law enforcement, parents, education, and the media. When the group was formed, it hosted a two-day “community exchange”, which brought together stakeholders from throughout the community to address adolescent alcohol and other substance use. Since that time, the coalition has sponsored several community education programs, worked with the county school district to provide alcohol/drug free messages to parents, worked with tavern and off premise business owners on adolescent access to alcohol, and sponsored several alcohol/drug free activities through its Positive Alternatives Committee.

Youth Alcohol-Free Alliance of Hermantown (YAFA)
c/o Hermantown Community Schools
4307 Ugstad Road
Hermantown, MN 55811
218-729-9313

The Hermantown school system formed a Learners at Risk committee several years ago, which formed the basis for the Youth Alcohol-Free Alliance of Hermantown. The group decided to apply for assistance in forming this underage drinking prevention effort after an incident at a local lake that involved reports of underage drinking and sexual assault. Denial is a major issue in the community, which some members attribute to the tradition of stoicism and handling problems “within the family.” So far the group has developed a mission statement, worked with other school systems in the area to develop a joint effort to combat underage drinking, and had representatives appear on a local public television station.

It was also the first to identify the “second-hand effects” of binge drinking— those problems suffered by other, non-binging students. The study examines important issues in college alcohol abuse, including the role of fraternities and sororities and of athletics, the special situation of freshmen, the influence of student drinking norms on behavior, and the role that availability and price play. The College Alcohol Study has now surveyed different random samples of students at the same four-year colleges three times: in 1993, 1997, and in 1999.
