Scope of the Issue
• Positive trends in the past decade on almost every indicator
of underage alcohol use.
• Alcohol is most commonly used substance among youth.
• Evidence continues to indicate that underage drinking
prevention has spillover effects into other behavioral health
areas (e.g., drug use, violence, suicide).
• Underage drinking prevention is other drug use prevention.
