Many factors contribute to alcohol, tobacco and other drug related problems in a community. Some are very concrete, such as many of the factors related to access and availability; while others are very abstract such as community norms. Coalitions often struggle to find concrete ways to address community norms regarding alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. This toolkit has been designed to help coalitions impact community norms, as well as underage access to alcohol, by ensuring public events are health-promoting normative environments for recreational and leisure time in their community. The activities in this kit also provide effective means to engage students in your coalition’s efforts.
