Abstract

Alcohol and drug education classes have reduced alcohol use in Vermont middle schools to approximately 20%, however currently no screening or intervention programs are available for the aforementioned 20%. Experts agree that early alcohol use significantly increases the risk of myriad psychosocial problems later in life, therefore early screening and intervention is paramount. The focus of this project is to raise awareness for the need of early screening/intervention regarding alcohol use in Vermont middle schools.
