Communities take charge: A manual for the prevention of alcohol and other drug problems among youth Marilyn Aguirre-Molina and Emily Van Ness This manual provides data on the extent of the ATOD problem among youth. It discusses the environmental factors that place youth at risk for ATOD problems, focusing on media messages and on availability of substances. It includes guidelines and suggestions for organizing to prevent ATOD problems, including suggestions on how to: conduct a community needs assessment; decide which direction to take in prevention programming; develop goals and objectives; implement a prevention program; obtain funds; and evaluate program effectiveness. A final section describes successful community prevention activities. The manual is part of an action kit designed to be a self-instructional learning module. The kit includes audio and videotapes, a directory of resources, and handbooks on how advertisers market alcohol and tobacco to Hispanics and Blacks, and on community approaches to preventing billboard advertising.
