The Maui Coalition for Drug-Free Youth is focused on youth alcohol and marijuana prevention in Wailuku, HI 96793. The population to be served will be youth in the town of Wailuku. The National-Cross Site Evaluation will include the four core measures on tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, and prescription drug use for the 8th, 10th, and 12th grade youth in Wailuku. The 3 outcomes are as follows:
1) By 09/29/23, increase membership in the parent, media, business, and faith sectors by a combined total of 30% as determined by Coalition Involvement Agreements.
2) By 09/29/23, reduce 30-day use of alcohol by 3% among 8th, 10th, and 12th grades students as determined by a youth survey result.
3) By 09/29/23, reduce 30-day use of marijuana by 3% among 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students as determined by a youth survey result.
Strategies for the three objectives will include creating a Coalition membership committee, increasing community outreach activities, passing a local social host ordinance, and addressing youth alcohol and marijuana use at local hotspots through party patrols and other deterrence measures.
