1) Background on previous social norms interventions from 2007-2010.
2) Research aims to study misperceptions around peer behaviors, differences by gender/age/socioeconomics, and effective implementation.
3) Key findings showed that youth overestimate peer involvement in risks but most have positive attitudes and decision making. Feedback affirmed the approach and potential for partnership and commitment.

Administrators must allow effective collaboration during the school day to foster stronger teacher understanding and connections with students. The essay evaluates the relative effectiveness of different collaborative approaches in education.
