- 29. Zero Alcohol forYouth Campaign When parents “make deals” with youth, or allow their children to drink as long as they promise not to drink and drive, youth are more likely to drink in other places not typically supervised by adults (like parties), to drive after drinking, or ride with a driver that has been drinking. Youth get the message from adults that underage drinking isn’t so bad.

Editor's Notes
- #4 The coalition members are a collection of various talents, backgrounds, and expertise. Our members are concerned members of the community, representing law enforcement, education, youth, corporate America, among many others. We believe the more diverse the coalition, the higher chance we have being successful in achieving our goals and fairly representing every sector of the community. Shelah Simmons is our Coalition Chairperson. Shelah is a local business owner and has been actively involved with our coalition since 2008. She average 10-15 hours per month on coalition work. We have made great strides in making sure the coalition chair is the spokesperson for the coalition because the more Shelah is in the public eye as a volunteer coalition chair the more we are likely to attract more community members to join the coalition. Shelah guides the coalition members though our strategic vision and plan with Boyd and myself assisting the coalition with grant requirements, administrative function and as salesmen. Shelah was unavailable to attend today and sends her regards. On behalf of Shelah we want to thank the board for their dedication to SACADA and in turn the coalition. We would like each one of you to become spokespersons for the coalition in addition to SACADA. We want you to join our sales team. Daniel Pink says today selling is about persistence, empathy, and sharing of information.
- #5 The Coalition is funded by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The annual budget is 150,000. We have 2.25 staff on this grant. Boyd and a portion of Charles our data analyst. A coalition is a vehicle for bringing together various community and government sectors to develop and carry out strategies that have an impact on the whole community.
- #6 First you need to know what the problem is. Does San Antonio have a problem with alcohol or drugs?We have a underage drinking problem in San Antonio. 60% of youth have tried alcohol
- #8 Seven methods that can bring about community change have been adopted as a useful framework by CADCA. Each of these strategies represents a key element to build and maintain a healthy community.
- #9 How many can we reach? Do we wait till they start drinking, smoking to tell them to stop? How many red ribbons can we hand out? 654,626 If 60 % tried and we want that to be lowered. Do we target the 76 k?
- #10 Substance abuse prevention usually follows one of two basic approaches—behavioral, which focuses on individuals’ behavior, or environmental, which focuses on communities and attempts to change the environment that supports substance abuse.But research has shown that education alone is often ineffective. Programs that try to persuade students not to use alcohol by arousing fear do not work, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Instead, emphasizing the dangers of alcohol may attract adolescents who are risk-takers. Another approach to preventing underage drinking and drug use at any age seeks to change the environment that supports substance abuse. While education is included, these programs primarily look to change the factors that influence people to abuse mind-altering substances, such as easy access to alcohol and the failure to penalize illegal drug use. Environmental interventions include:Building support for public policies that reduce access to alcohol, illegal drugs and other mind-altering substances.Creating community coalitions to develop local solutions to reducing access.Using the media to highlight the problem of substance abuse and build support for community-based solutions.
- #11 No longer think of “just say no” to drugs
- #13 Since its creation in 1990, Search Institute’s framework of Developmental Assets has become the most widely used approach to positive youth development in the United States.Background—Grounded in extensive research in youth development, resiliency, and prevention, the Developmental Assets represent the relationships, opportunities, and personal qualities that young people need to avoid risks and to thrive.The Power of Assets—Studies of more than 2.2 million young people in the United States consistently show that the more assets young people have, the less likely they are to engage in a wide range of high-risk behaviors (see table below) and the more likely they are to thrive. Assets have power for all young people, regardless of their gender, economic status, family, or race/ethnicity. Furthermore, levels of assets are better predictors of high-risk involvement and thriving than poverty or being from a single-parent family
- #16 8 nonprofit prevention agencies providing education and youth to Fiesta Family members. Changing Norms
- #18 Prevention Day at the Capitol February 2013Educating community members about underage drinking, training them how to speak to elected officials, practice these skills and then going with them to witness.Goal is many voices with the same message
- #31 Next time we present to the board we will cover our other strategy: Increasing the Alcohol Excise Tax. We have two years for the next legislative session. We will also cover advocacy vs. lobbying. We will be hosting a alcohol excise tax forum in the fall. We would like you to attend so you are ready in the 84th legislative session to talk to elected officials about excise tax as a prevention measure.
