A Family Guide to Underage Drinking Prevention
http://www.underagedrinking.samhsa.gov/
UnderageDrinking.SAMHSA.gov is a public education website developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in support of the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to communicate to parents about how they can help reduce their child’s risk of becoming involved with alcohol.
The site’s main focus is to provide parents with information and tools to help them have open and ongoing conversations with their preteen and teen children about the dangers of underage alcohol use. The site also includes information about “risk factors” that increase children’s risk of using alcohol.
