This 4-week college health course aims to educate students on the effects of underage drinking. Students will conduct research on campus and use their knowledge to guide data collection on topics related to underage alcohol use. They will develop an interactive curriculum and present lectures to teach peers about alcohol's impact on development. Finally, students will create a digital media presentation, such as a PSA or statistical video, as a final project summarizing the social norms campaign they designed.
