Did you know underage drinking cost the citizens of Rhode Island $218 million in 2007?To combat this problem Middletown & Newport have teamed up to create "Working Together Against Underage Drinking." This task force aims at educating teens and adults about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking.
During the past two years they have been attacking the problem through a combination of media (e.g., newspaper ads and stories, moving billboards, banners, posters), enforcement (e.g., party patrols, checks of bars and liquor stores), and policy (e.g., underage drinking ordinances, training of liquor servers, school policies).
How effective have their efforts been? That is where you come in. Please take the survey. It's only 5 minutes long and confidential. Also the information gathered will help the task force as they move towards reducing this $218 million problem.
