Underage Drinking in the United States: A Status Report, 2005=20
=20
This report summarizes the most recent data and other relevant research on
underage drinking. The report, produced by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and
Youth at Georgetown University, examines four areas: (1) the scope and
consequences of underage drinking; (2) how youth gain access to alcohol and how
this can be prevented; (3) how alcohol appeals to youth, including the extent to
which youth are exposed to, aware of, and influenced by alcohol advertising; and
(4) promising approaches to protect youth. The report is intended for use by
health professionals and others in their efforts to focus and advance the
current understanding of underage drinking and to prompt action to protect youth
from underage drinking and its consequences.
The report is available at

Millions of students at thousands of schools took part in the November 15, 2005
Mix It Up at Lunch Day, switching seats to challenge self-segregation in school
cafeterias. To sustain that energy, our Mix It Up program offers second-semester
activities for early, middle and upper grades. There's still time to carry out
many of these activities.
