The Champaign County Drug-Free Youth Coalition is partnering with the state of Ohio's Drug-Free Action Alliance to launch a campaign that targets parents who host underage drinking parties. The "Parents Who Host Lose the Most: Don't be a party to teenage drinking" public awareness campaign is designed to provide parents with information about the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth. The program is funded in part by the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services. The campaign is timed to reach parents before prom and graduation parties.
Abby Cohn, director of the Champaign County Child and Family First Council, comments: "This time of year presents numerous opportunities for underage drinking. ... We want to make sure that members of our community make good choices in determining how to celebrate." (Sources: www.urbancitizen.com)
