An online survey is trying to gauge the effectiveness of local campaigns against teen drug abuse and underage drinking. The survey was posted by the Livingston County Community Alliance and Livingston Community Prevention Project, organizations that are behind local campaigns such as Parents Who Host Lose the Most and the Big Red Barrel. It asks parents about which local campaigns they have heard of since April and how much information they retained as a result. It also asks them about the impact those campaigns had, and whether they were able to spark any discussions with teens or other adults about the dangers and legal ramifications about substance abuse or allowing underage people to drink. Catholic Charities Drug Abuse Prevention Coordinator Kaitlin Fink says facilitating such conversations in the community is one of the major goals of their campaigns. Those who complete the survey will have the chance to enter a drawing for a $100 gift card to a local movie theater. The survey closes on September 30th. A link to it has been posted below. (TD)
