(2) Increase peer norms and peer disapproval of alcohol and marijuana use among youth (3) Increase perception of harm of alcohol and marijuana use through education, awareness, and community action (4) Decrease youth social access to alcohol through evidence-based prevention strategies. (5) Use a data-driven approach to design community-specific prevention initiatives
