10th Grade

12th Grade

Focal Points: •  Youth in all communities are binge drinking at high rates.

Rates increase throughout grade levels, this is an area of concern given that youth that binge drink can pose harm to themselves as binge drinking leads to addiction, brain damage, and alcohol poisoning.

•  As a collaborative, our efforts should gear toward a comprehensive approach inclusive of strategies for youth in middle school and high school given that 30 day use rates and past year use rates are high in 6th grade and escalate through grade levels.

Youth in all communities reported beer as the preferred drink among other alcoholic beverages.

Focal Points: •  There is a correlation between store access and youth giving

alcohol to strangers. When looking at retail access, compliance checks is a strategy that can target both store access and shoulder taps (youth giving money to strangers). In terms of data, although numbers are low compared to social access, in looking into framing a holistic approach to reducing underage drinking- developing a culture in our communities where the sale of alcohol to minors becomes “not acceptable” is important. In terms of the policy efforts that can be targeted to this issue: mandating BASSET training for all employees selling liquor and ensuring that BASSET training becomes an evidence-based curriculum.

Focal Points: •  An average of 24% of 6th graders in all communities are

driving with teens under the influence of alcohol

•  An average of 24.6% of 8th graders in all communities are driving with adults under the influence of alcohol. Rates are particularly high in Back of the Yards ( 30%) and Brighton Park (28%), this is due to the correlation found in the Latino community among social norms and DUI

19

Focal Points:

•  An average of 26.3% of 8th graders in all communities believe it is not wrong for someone there age to drink. This perception can increase a youth likelihood to drink in 8th grade and continue drinking throughout High School.

•  Youth are engaging in physical fights at high rates in Back of the Yards and Brighton Park, this is a concern due to the high gang violence rates in both communities.
