The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), has awarded a $120,000 Project Grant to Schools Together Allowing No Drugs (Stand) to prevent and reduce underage alcohol use in Scott County, Tennessee. The 4-year grant, with a start date of September 30, 2024, will support Stand's comprehensive approach to address this issue, including community education, social media campaigns, law enforcement support, and targeted outreach to high-risk youth populations such as LGBTQ+ individuals and those living in rural or socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. The goal is to reduce underage drinking by 4% and increase youth and parental perception of the harm associated with underage alcohol consumption.
