Birch & Davis Associates, Inc., Silver Spring, MD.
This report on the second National Conference for Youth on Drinking and Driving focuses on the potential of the workplace as a site for the prevention of teenage alcohol abuse, with a special emphasis on drinking and driving. Features of the conference are described which may be of interest to employers of youth, youth specialists, and alcohol prevention specialists. The first two chapters provide background information on the conference and list its purposes and guiding principles. Chapters 3 and 4 describe the selection, characteristics, and preparation of youth and adult participants and faculty at the conference. All major sessions of the conference are discussed in chapter 5, with emphasis on learning objectives and instructional approaches in each case. The six programs featured at the conference are described in chapter 6. These include Opryland's Employee Assistance Project; a teenage alcohol abuse prevention program from a McDonald's franchise in Arkansas; Johnson and Johnson's Live for Life health promotion and disease prevention program; a Job Corps center prevention project in Woodstock, Maryland; the Jobs for Young Adults program in Topeka, Kansas; and a Florida Burger King group interested in developing a program. Action plans and state strategies produced at the conference are reviewed in the final two chapters. Other relevant materials are contained in the appendices. (NRB)
