2003 Report
Status of 2001 Recommendations - Awareness Campaign
The Partnership recommended that the youth survey data be used to target areas of greatest risk for Arlington youth, and that awareness and prevention campaigns be developed accordingly in FY 04.
Status: In late 2001, the Partnership formed a Data Committee to analyze the results of the 2001 Assets and Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. The committee identified eight risk behaviors needing attention in this community. In 2003, the committee recommended that alcohol use by pre-teens be the focus of the first awareness campaign. Specifically, the Partnership, working with Vanguard Services, the Schools, and the Police, is designing a "media-plus" campaign on delaying the age of alcohol use by at least two years. The first stage of this campaign is the design of relevant, asset-based presentations to be made to all fifth graders and their parents, with follow-up outreach in the 6th grade. This will undoubtedly require some School and County staff time and resources in FY 05.
