This was the presentation we created for the Ad Council in Week 4 at Miami Ad School.

The problem: Despite all efforts, underage drinking (among teens 11-17) continues to rise.

The assignment: Create a fully executed campaign (strategy and creative) to change BEHAVIORS and ultimately reduce underage drinking among 11-17 yr old teens.

“Under‐age drinking remains stubbornly prevalent, especially among affluent white teenagers. According to a 2003 survey by the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, 21 percent of white youths between 12 and 20 years old reported being heavy drinkers, followed by American Indians (20 percent), Latinos (17 percent), blacks (10 percent) and Asians (8 percent).”http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/30/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/02Rdrinking.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1

One recent government study estimated that 1,700 college students die each year in alcohol‐related incidents, more than 599,000 are injured and more than 97,000 are victims of an alcohol‐fueled sexual assault or date rape.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/education/edlife/alcohol.html?_r=1&scp=8&sq=&st=nyt

→ Kids are beginning to abuse alcohol earlier than you might think: Nearly 20% of eighth d h t d b i d k d 1 i 3 t h i h d l h l i th l t 30graders have reported being drunk and 1 in 3 report having had alcohol in the last 30 

days

→ Children who first use alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to have alcohol problems than those who start drinking after 21. According to the results of a national survey of 43,093 adults, published yesterday in Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 47 percent of those who begin drinking alcohol before the age of 14 become p g g galcohol dependent at some time in their lives, compared with 9 percent of those who wait at least until age 21. 

→ Researchers have also associated drinking with early sexual activity as well as the resulting unintended teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases

→ Alcohol causes more damage to the developing brains of teenagers than was previously→ Alcohol causes more damage to the developing brains of teenagers than was previously thought, injuring them significantly more than it does adult brains.

Parents as ENABLERS of underage drinking by supplying alcohol to teens at home g g y pp y g(i.e. parties)

Parents as DENIALISTS who make the problem worse by thinking their kids don’t drink or abuse other substances

Parents as FATALISTS who consider underage drinking inevitable (they feel there’s nothing they can do about it, they’re hopeless)

Parents as ANTI‐ROLE MODELS who set a bad example through their own misuse of alcohol or broken relationships with their kids

Eighty‐two percent (82 percent) of parents say that teens' alcohol‐related risky behavior is a problem in society today, including 56 percent who say that it is a big problem.http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/teens/a/blcamy030715.htm

The message is out there, through ad campaigns, the media, even legislation, and it is reaching parents’ eyes and ears.

Page 8: Ad Council Organic Lightning Rev

The current campaign has done a great job at communicating the message that underage drinking has lifetime repercussions, but falls short in the call to action.

Page 9: Ad Council Organic Lightning Rev

The current campaign directs parents to visit www.stopalcoholabuse.gov or call 1‐800‐729‐6686. The website is about as boring and cumbersome as a government website can get…

What can we DO to cause a real impact and empower parents? It doesn’t stop with the message and goes into giving them tools to influence the ACTION we expect them to take.

‐ Almost half of teens and parents surveyed agree the best time to talk about important things is during or right after dinner‐ The impact of spending more time together is positive for the whole age range (11‐17) but it’s even stronger in the younger part of the range (11‐13)‐The impact of spending more time with kids goes beyond reducing underage drinking, to things like improved academic performance and reduced abuse of other substances (drugs and tobacco)

‐“One factor that does more to reduce teens’ substance abuse risk than almost any other is parental engagement, and one of the simplest and most effective ways for parents to be engaged in teens’ lives is by having frequent family dinners.” (Joseph A. Califano, former US Secretary of Health and president of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University)
