What can be done to stop the epidemic of underage drinking and other drug abuse?
The AMA advocates numerous ways to combat this growing epidemic, including:
- Increasing enforcement of underage drinking laws
- Reducing access to alcohol for children and youth (the family home is a primary place teens acquire alcohol)
- Reducing sales and provision of alcohol to children and youth
- Providing more education about the harmful effects of alcohol and other drug abuse
- Talk to children early and often about drug use, setting clear standards and expectations opposing use
- Reducing the demand for alcohol and the normalization of alcohol use by children and youth
