SURVEY OF THE STATES: UNDERAGE DRINKING PREVENTION. ISSUE THREE

This report contains the results of the National Association of Governors' Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) survey of the states on underage drinking. The purpose of the survey was to determine their programs and activities in the areas of prevention/education, enforcement, public policy, media relations, and efforts for local programs to achieve self-sufficiency. Thirty-nine states responded, providing information on the work of statewide coalitions organized to prevent underage drinking, the types of data gathered to determine the nature and extent of the problem, the types of prevention/education and enforcement activities and programs that are conducted, and whether the state has any statewide public awareness effort.
