The Town of Lynnfield, Massachusetts' Substance Use Prevention Coalition, A Healthy Lynnfield, will work to decrease the misuse of alcohol and electronic vaping product use among youth under the age of 18 by implementing a comprehensive mix of evidence based programs that address behaviors that lead to the initiation or progression of use. The primary goals of A Healthy Lynnfield include 1) reducing substance use among youth by addressing the factors in Lynnfield that increase the risk of substance misuse and promoting factors that minimize the risk of substance misuse and 2) establish and strengthen collaboration among community partners to reduce youth substance use. Strategies and objectives designed to achieve these goals are outlined in AHL’s work plan. Strategies are environmentally focused to 1) limit access to substances 2) change the culture and context within which decisions about substance use are made 3) reduce the negative consequences associated with this use and 4) increase developmental assets and social-emotional competencies that help youth thrive.
