In 1995, the National Association of Governors' Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) launched a pilot project funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Based on the experiences of five communities in developing and implementing comprehensive underage drinking prevention programs, the two organizations have prepared a series of How To booklets to pass on the lessons learned to other communities who want to reduce underage alcohol consumption and curb the terrible toll underage drinking takes on our neighborhoods. This publication contains the How To guides on underage age drinking prevention. The guides advise local advocates on how to deal with the following issues: * Coalition Building; * Needs Assessment/Strategic Planning; * Enforcement; * Prevention/Education; * Public Policy; * Media Relations; * Evaluation; * Self-Sufficiency; and * Resources.
