 Many
well-meaning parents think that it is enough to take
away car keys at their teen's parties so the teens can't drink &
drive. Parents provide the alcohol or allow alcohol to be consumed
based on the false belief that it's a rite of passage, especially
at prom & graduation parties. THIS COULDN'T BE FARTHER FROM
THE TRUTH.
The "Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don't be a party to
teenage drinking" public awareness campaign was developed
by Drug-Free Action Alliance in 2000. Campaign information has been
requested for replication in 40 states & Canada. In 2001, the
campaign received a national award as a promising prevention program.

Focus on Prevention ~ SAMSHA
Abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs is a problem throughout the United States.
Yet communities vary greatly in the specific problems they face, the groups affected by
those problems, and the events that rouse people to take action. In addition to having
different problems and priorities, some communities have more resources and experience
with locally based prevention activities than others. Yet, with a "can do" approach
and a bit of guidance, any community can have success in preventing substance abuse.
