Alcohol Marketing and Youth: Evidence of a Problem

While many factors contribute to youth drinking, a growing body of research has found that exposure to alcohol marketing has significant effects on youth drinking behavior. This presentation examines the alcohol industry’s self-regulatory marketing practices, the effects of alcohol marketing on youth, the extent of youth exposure to alcohol ads, and what is happening at federal, state and local levels to address this issue.

Effects of Alcohol on the Adolescent Brain

This training educates participants about the effects of alcohol on the still-developing adolescent brain. Participants learn to communicate this information with different members of the community, from parents to policy-makers. As a result, they can better promote sound public policy and evidence-based strategies to reduce underage alcohol use.
