Underage drinking continues to be a public health problem in the US. While rates of underage drinking and binge drinking have declined since 1988 when all states adopted a minimum legal drinking age of 21, challenges remain. A comprehensive approach using multiple strategies like education, enforcement of laws, and community programs working at different levels has shown effectiveness. Further research is still needed to identify the most cost-effective combination of policies and programs to reduce underage drinking.

Three surveys conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in February 2013 found:
1) Americans remain split in their views of the Affordable Care Act, with slightly more holding unfavorable than favorable opinions.
2) Hispanics and blacks were more likely than other groups to say they worry about being victims of gun violence and to personally know someone affected by gun violence.
3) While most Americans favor requiring equivalent mental health benefits, only about a third correctly understood current law as requiring parity between mental health and other medical benefits.
This document provides youth population and characteristic data for counties in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina:
- There were over 344,000 youth aged 15-24 in 2014, with 6.7% aged 20-24. Educational attainment rates showed 42.5% had some college and 30.7% a high school diploma.
- In 2014, over 83,000 people in the region lived below the poverty level, including 12.6% of those aged 18-24. The region had a graduation rate of 83.4% and over 300 dropouts.
- In 2015, 261 youths were detained and 874 individuals of any age were released from correctional facilities in the region.
Girls experience unwanted sexual solicitation and harassment online at higher rates than boys. 18% of girls report unwanted sexual solicitation online, with 3% experiencing it frequently. 38% of girls have been harassed online in the past year, and 8% are harassed monthly or more. Girls who experience these issues online are more likely to have problems at school, substance use, and troubled relationships with caregivers. These findings provide a more accurate picture of girls' online experiences compared to the stereotypical "predator" portrayed in media.
Underage drinking has negative consequences and contributes to health and social problems. While aggressive prevention efforts since the 1980s have led to positive changes like a 79% decline in alcohol-related traffic deaths among youth aged 16-20, challenges remain. Evidence-based strategies to reduce underage drinking include policies that limit youth access to alcohol, such as minimum legal drinking age laws. Enforcement of underage drinking laws is fundamental to prevention efforts.
Substance Abuse: Approaches, Statistics, Legislation, Services and MethodsEarly Artis
This document discusses substance abuse in Finland.

This document discusses health disparities faced by LGBT populations and the role of stigma and lack of access to resources. It notes that minority stress from societal prejudice contributes to higher rates of mental health issues, substance abuse, and medical conditions in LGBT individuals. The document advocates that legalizing same-sex marriage would help address these disparities by reducing stigma, improving access to healthcare and benefits, and validating LGBT families and relationships. It summarizes various medical organizations' stances in support of marriage equality and reducing health disparities for LGBT individuals and families.

Colorado Unaffiliated Women Voter Post Election Survey Summary 121714Magellan Strategies
This document is a summary of a post-election landline and cell phone survey of 500 unaffiliated women voters in Colorado that voted in the 2014 general election. The interviews were conducted on November 17th and 18th, and the survey has a margin of error of +/- 4.38% at the 95 percent confidence interval. This group of women voters contributed 14% of the total vote, or 286,283 votes of the 2,080,071 total votes cast in the 2014 election.
The survey used Magellan Strategies Colorado segmentation data to draw the sample, which only surveyed female unaffiliated voters that voted in the 2014 general election. The three unaffiliated segments used were Lean Republican Unaffiliated, True Middle and Lean Democrat Unaffiliated. Among all unaffiliated women who voted in the 2014 general election, 17% were Lean Republican Unaffiliated, 48% were True Middle and 35% were Lean Democrat Unaffiliated.
Most observers of Colorado politics would confirm that unaffiliated women voters are an important voting block that can decide most elections in the Centennial state. These women voters are less partisan and more likely to consider candidates of both parties. This survey attempts to understand how these women viewed: the 2014 candidates for the United States Senate and Governor, the dominance of women’s issues, the Republican and Democrat parties, and their support for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Rural and non-rural sexual minority youth showed similar health indicators, with a few exceptions. Rural sexual minority youth reported poorer mental health, lower safety, and higher substance use than both rural and non-rural heterosexual youth. Compared to heterosexual youth, sexual minority youth were more likely to be involved in social or political activities, perhaps to connect with a supportive community. While urbanicity may no longer confer differences for sexual minority youth, their sexual identity remains associated with greater health risks regardless of rural or non-rural location.

- Currently, only 30.8% of Black adults have earned a college degree compared to 47.1% of White adults, representing a gap of 16.3 percentage points. The gap is largest for bachelor's degrees.
- While attainment has increased for both groups since 2000, gains have not closed the gap between Black and White adults. The gap remains largest for young adults ages 25-34.
Fairfax County Youth Survey School Year 2013-2014: Nutrition and Physical Act...Fairfax County
The document is a report from the 2013 Fairfax County Youth Survey. It provides data from the survey of over 47,000 students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 on topics related to nutrition, physical activity, and risk behaviors. The survey examines behaviors, experiences, and protective/risk factors that influence youth well-being. Results show that only 27% of students eat 5 or more fruits and vegetables daily and less than 40% engage in 60 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week. The report analyzes correlations between healthy behaviors, assets, and reduced risk behaviors.
What is the YAS?
• A locally developed teen survey since 2005.
• Conducted every two years at grades 8, 10 and 12 in participating Ottawa County schools.
• Monitors how behaviors increase, decrease or stay the same over time.
• Measures how many teens are engaged in a variety of risky and beneficial behaviors
affecting their health and well-being.
• Shows the ages when teens may engage in risky behaviors for the first time.
• Indicates what issue areas affect males and females differently.
• Provides evidence-based information about what the biggest needs are (and aren’t)
among Ottawa County teens.
The 2009 Fairfax County Youth Survey collected data from over 42,000 students on health behaviors, mental health, bullying, substance use, and other topics. Some key findings include:
- Over 20% of students are physically active daily, but activity levels decline with age. Fruit/vegetable consumption also declines with age.
- Bullying is most common in early grades, with 13% of 6th graders bullied weekly. Half of all students report being bullied in the past year.
- Alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use increases with age but remains below national averages, though marijuana use rose slightly.
- The report recommends continued prevention efforts across sectors to address issues like depression, obesity, and substance
2010-11 Youth Survey Nutrition and Activity Presentation Fairfax County
The document summarizes key findings from the 2010-2011 Fairfax County Youth Survey related to nutrition and physical activity among youth. The survey assessed behaviors, risk factors, and protective factors for over 44,000 students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12. Key findings included that 25% of students ate 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily, 42.6% engaged in 60 minutes of physical activity at least 5 days per week, and screen time exceeded 3 hours per day for about 30% of students. The data showed correlations between healthy behaviors like better nutrition, sleep, and activity levels and lower rates of depression and risk behaviors. Maintaining three protective factors or "assets" was also correlated with fewer unhealthy behaviors
The Ottawa County Youth Assessment Surveys monitor the prevalence of youth health risk behaviors. The purposes are to monitor trends and to provide information so local agencies and schools can focus programs and policies to reduce behaviors that contribute most to the leading causes of mortality and morbidity.
The ALICE project studied alcohol use, mental health, and health service usage among lesbian, bisexual, and queer women in Australia. An online survey of 521 women found high rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and discrimination. Discrimination was linked to worse mental health and higher alcohol use. While most women saw doctors regularly, few did so for alcohol or mental health, and many were reluctant due to concerns about confidentiality, judgment and discrimination. The study aims to understand these issues better through interviews and develop training to improve healthcare provider competency.
To bail or not to bail opinions on bail based on a defendants socioeconomic...PeterSkillman
This pilot study examines how socioeconomic status affects opinions on bail amounts. Two surveys were conducted where all variables were held constant except occupation, which indicated either low or high socioeconomic status. The small sample found that respondents favored higher bail amounts for the lower socioeconomic status defendant. However, the study had limitations due to its small, non-diverse sample. Future research with a larger, random sample is recommended to draw valid conclusions.
A presentation by David Lam, Department of Economics and Population Studies Center, University of Michigan, as part of Impacts of Inequality on Children's Well-being panel discussion at the International Symposium on Cohort and Longitudinal Studies in Developing Contexts, UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti, Florence, Italy 13-15 October 2014
- The survey found that in 2008, 39% of youth reported being victims of internet harassment, 14% reported being victims of cyberbullying, and 18% reported being victims of unwanted sexual solicitation. However, the data did not support assumptions that these issues were increasing over time or that youth were more severely affected. Specifically, prevalence rates were stable from 2006-2008 and distress levels did not rise. Additionally, a substantial portion of youth reported involvement in perpetrating harassment or unwanted encounters. The definitions and measurements used in the survey were also important to consider in interpreting the results.
1) An annual survey of over 1,500 youth found that approximately one-third reported being victims of internet harassment in the form of rude comments or rumors being spread about them online.
2) Youth who were victims of traditional bullying, spent more time online, were older, and came from wealthier families were more likely to be victims of internet harassment.
3) Approximately one-fifth of youth reported perpetrating internet harassment against others, mainly through rude comments or spreading rumors.
4) Youth who were traditional bullies, victims of internet harassment themselves, used alcohol, and had tendencies toward anger were more likely to perpetrate internet harassment.
The Ottawa County Youth Assessment Surveys monitor the prevalence of youth health risk behaviors. The purposes are to monitor trends and to provide information so local agencies and schools can focus programs and policies to reduce behaviors that contribute most to the leading causes of mortality and morbidity.
The document provides an overview and orientation for Georgia's Strategic Prevention System (GASPS) initiative. GASPS aims to prevent substance use and promote healthy choices through implementing evidence-based strategies. It utilizes a public health model and SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework approach.

Youth reported experiencing technology-based aggression between 2006-2008. Around 40% experienced internet harassment in 2008, with rude comments being most common. Around 15% experienced cyberbullying in 2007-2008. Approximately 18% experienced unwanted sexual encounters in 2008, most often being asked about sex when unwilling. Those experiencing online aggression often also experienced offline aggression, with 13% experiencing both online and offline aggression in one study. Technology-based aggression was linked to problems like substance use and poor relationships.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
