From Ascribe Newsfeed: This prom and graduation season, teens will be exposed to a number of high-risk activities as they celebrate some of the most memorable milestones of their lives. Now, a publication developed by Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA), in collaboration with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), offers parents and concerned adults a new tool to reduce the risk of underage drinking in their communities. The publication, entitled "Using Science to Combat Underage Drinking," highlights the latest scientific research on underage drinking and offers practical strategies that can be used to prevent and reduce alcohol use among teens. Arthur T. Dean, CADCA Chairman & CEO. "We hope this valuable new tool that we developed with NIAAA will help prevention leaders implement evidence-based practices in their communities to keep youth safe and alcohol-free, especially during the high-risk prom and graduation season." CADCA's mission is to build and strengthen the capacity of community coalitions by providing technical assistance and training, public policy advocacy, media strategies and marketing programs, conferences, and special events.
