Underage Drinking Prevention Program
The Substance Abuse Council, in collaboration with law
enforcement and other community leaders, formed the Underage
Drinking Prevention Forum, in 2002, to implement strategies
to reduce underage drinking and the problems it causes in
our community. Sheriff Al Byam chairs this group.
In order to ensure that our efforts would be successful; in
2003, the Underage Drinking Prevention Forum implemented
Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol, a researched
based program proven to reduce availability and access of
alcohol to youth. Research shows that when availability is
reduced, use rates decline as well.
The General UAD is working to implement activities to reduce alcohol related traffic crash deaths and injuries
