With these grant funds, we will be reaching Johnson County youth (ages 12-18) to prevent and reduce the use of alcohol. While using multiple, targeted strategies to accomplish this, our primary focus will be on expanding involvement of local youth to enhance media campaign awareness, increase positive peer-to-peer interactions, and support youth activities within the community. In addition to focusing on youth, we will also be working to increase community collaboration and awareness, through media and parental education. Our comprehensive approach is completed by including strategies to adjust consequences, change physical design, and educate on the importance of policies that promote health. The Empower Johnson County coalition has a great working relationship with the Local Coordinating Council (Drug Free Johnson County), in addition to the local Health Department and local Law Enforcement agencies. We believe these strategies, with the support of local partners, will help Empower Johnson County reduce youth alcohol use.
