What can be done to discourage children from using drugs and alcohol?
Everyone can help educate children on the dangers of illegal drugs and alcohol. In particular, reducing the availability of alcohol, promoting responsible adult behavior, holding adults accountable when providing alcohol to minors, enforcing laws designed to stop drinking among children and adults, and changing social norms about what children see in their homes as well as in the media regarding drugs and alcohol, all lend a hand to this cause. Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free is an initiative to prevent the use of alcohol by children ages nine to 15. This program provides information for parents, teachers, signs for health care workers to look for, legislative action, reports, and more. The National Institute on Drug Abuse has numerous websites along with materials for children and teens that may be used with parents and teachers. The Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center provides services to assist states and local communities in their efforts to combat underage drink
