This federal Project Grant award of $120,000.00 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program aims to change the community's belief that underage drinking is acceptable in the Windward Oahu area with the 96744 ZIP code. The non-profit organization Parents And Children Together (PACT) will lead this 4-year effort to prevent underage drinking among youth ages 9-17 and young adults ages 18-24 in this region, which has higher rates of underage drinking compared to the county and state. PACT will host community events, action projects, and social media campaigns to engage both youth and adults, foster dialogue, raise awareness, and encourage positive healthy behaviors to address the permissive attitudes towards underage alcohol consumption in this community. The project's key goals are to decrease the percentage of adults who think underage drinking is acceptable, decrease the percentage of adults who provide alcohol to underage youth, and decrease the percentage of high school students who report drinking alcohol in the past 30 days.
