“BCHD’s Youth Advisory Council produced a PhotoVoice titled “Youth Perspectives of Alcohol Use in the Beach Cities.” The goal for this project was to highlight the youth voice and point of view on alcohol’s impact on the well-being of their local community. Students compiled photos, testimonials from peers, statistics and relevant research to develop a presentation explaining how the home environment and easy accessibility contribute to widespread alcohol use by youth in the Beach Cities.
As a follow up to the PhotoVoice, the Youth Advisory Council’s Summer Workgroup created a complementary campaign, “Don’t Drink, Rethink.” Postcards with statistics and ideas for activities that promote healthy behaviors and habits served as peer-to-peer messaging to highlight suggested alternatives to youth alcohol use.”
