 Remember this speaks of Region 6 Schools and without a power analysis it, we can not say much statistically. But we can use this as a baseline expectation.  We should expect alcohol to be the most used substance for kids as young as 10 yrs old and very likely about a 1/3 of kids 15 or older will likely be using alcohol.  Parents are delivering the message of their disapproval, but are becoming complacent or burning-out on stating their disapproval as children grow older, concerning alcohol.  The substance use is harmful message is out there to about ¾ of kids grades 7-12, but parental fatigue for stating their disapproval, risk taking is being sought by younger children, and counter message experience is causing the harm message to wane in terms of impact.  Justifies efforts that go beyond the conventional “deliver the message of harm” approach, and should also be augmented by efforts derived by strategies that can impact the environment.
