View Award Abstract

Funds for this project will enable the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria (SAPCA) to continue focusing on reducing underage drinking in the City of Alexandria, Virginia through a culturally appropriate lens by allowing the coalition to reach middle school youth and focus more on engaging Latino students and the 18-20 population attending the local community college. To meet the needs of the diverse population represented in our public schools and across the City, SAPCA will create a culturally appropriate prevention campaign to effectively prevent underage drinking among these populations. SAPCA will also create an effective campaign that speaks to Latino youth and their parents. Additionally, SAPCA will tailor its messages to a community it has not previously reached: community college students. The feedback solicited from this diverse array of groups will inform the creation of campaigns aimed at preventing underage drinking among community college students and the Latino community. Once the middle school campaign is created, campaign materials will be translated into Spanish, Amharic and Arabic, the three primary languages spoken by ACPS students other than English, to most effectively reach these target populations. All of these materials will be reviewed by the Alexandria Department of Community and Human Services’ Culturally Competent and Linguistic Committee. The goals of this project are to reduce the number of Alexandria City Public Schools middle school students reporting regular alcohol use by 2024 through the delivery of evidence-informed prevention programming; the number of Alexandria City Public Schools Latino students reporting regular alcohol use by 2024 through the design and implementation of culturally appropriate resources that promote the importance of abstaining from underage alcohol use; and the number of Northern Virginia Community College students, below the age of 21, reporting regular alcohol use by 2024 through the design and implementation of a community-led campaign focused on preventing underage drinking among Alexandria youth and young adults. SAPCA will accomplish these goals by increasing the number of middle school students participating in evidence-based seminars about the facts and consequences of alcohol use and the number of Latino and community college students reporting drinking alcohol before age 21 is harmful to their health and against their values. Through this project, SAPCA plans to serve 2,450 middle school students, 1,000 Hispanic high school students, and 2,000 community college students.
