Why are teens that have drinking problems, or are currently drinking, part of the Student/Parent Leadership Teams?
The U.S. Department of Education and the California Department of Alcohol and Drugs Programs have both required that all projects funded in California with these grant funds be targeted to and involve young people who are engaged in or at risk of binge drinking. The purpose of this focus is to ensure that interventions under the project effectively target the binge drinking behavior of these specific youth. Additionally, research shows that to effectively reach this target audience, it is important to include participants that understand the binge drinking environment in Marin County and the factors that influence young people’s decision to binge drink. Teens that currently drink are valuable resources for understanding such factors as well as behaviors related to binge drinking.
