Medical professionals often saw young people
who had ingested large quantities of alcohol,
referred to as binge drinking or life-threatening
drinking behavior among youth.
Medical professionals noted high percentage of
sexual assaults involving minors included
alcohol use by either the perpetrator or victim.
Additionally, drinking or use of drugs (including
over-the-counter medications) was reported as
often being involved in youth suicide attempts.
When alcohol-related accidents occurred, they
affected multiple young people. “People drinking
seem to jump in the same vehicle together,”

The impression of high school students
was that alcohol use was not very
prevalent at their school.
 The students estimated that only 10-20%
of the students used alcohol.
 Being involved in church or school
activities served as a deterrent to alcohol
use and testing for drug use among
athletes as a deterrent.

High school students were more likely
than elementary or middle school students
to report learning about alcohol and drugs
from their parents, although they reported
that parents had less influence on their
views.
 The influence of peer attitudes and
behavior was reported to have more
influence on high schools students than on
elementary or middle school students.




Internet efforts aimed at prevention may be effective for
high school students.
High school and middle school students are more likely
than elementary students to obtain information about
drugs and alcohol through the media, although it would
be beneficial to prepare children to evaluate media
messages at a younger age.
Students across all three age groups appeared to be
more aware of prevention efforts include the Community
Heroes Campaign than in focus groups conducted
previously.
Prevention efforts for elementary students may be more
effective if they target the entire family rather than just
the child.

High school students thought adults were either
unaware or condoning of alcohol use among
teens.
Many of the students described parents as a
primary source for obtaining alcohol.
Kids would either steal alcohol from their homes,
or obtain alcohol from consenting parents or
older friends.
Teens easily offered numerous areas where
teens could go to drink. These areas ranged
from keg parties at private residences to
gatherings at public parking lots.

College and high school focus groups
acknowledged that drinking has long been part
of the culture of Panhandle communities. Teen
drinking is accepted at some community events,
where access to alcohol can be as easy as
helping oneself to a drink from a beer keg
placed in the open. Drinking alcohol is viewed by
some as a rite of passage to adulthood.
In addition to familial and community influences,
personal and social factors influence a teen’s
susceptibility to alcohol and drug use.
