Surgeon General's Call To Action To Prevent And Reduce Underage Drinking A Guide to Action for Communities

The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking seeks to raise awareness of and promote action on underage drinking and its effects. In addition to bringing attention to underage drinking and its consequences, the Call to Action identifies six goals for preventing and reducing youth drinking. A Guide to Action for Communities emphasizes the importance of a unified, committed effort among civic groups, businesses, and others to recognize and prevent underage drinking. The Guide, which is based on the Call to Action, provides communities with evidence based strategies and action steps that will assist communities in addressing this important public health and safety problem. Both the Call to Action and the Guide to Action for Communities were developed in collaboration with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
