A University of Washington study finds that a prevention program shows notable success in reducing the rate of alcohol and smokeless tobacco use among teen-agers.
The Community Youth Development Study is tracking 4,400 students in small- to medium-size towns from Maine to Washington over a five-year period. It found that binge drinking rates were 37% lower among the students who were enrolled in the Communities That Care prevention program.
