Raising Community Awareness About Underage Drinking

underage drinking

The Partnerships For Success (PFS) Coalition, a Stratford Youth and Family Advisory Board committee, is working to reduce underage drinking by raising community awareness of the problems associated with underage drinking and limiting youth access to alcohol. The coalition brings together community leaders, school officials, police officers, parents and youth to send a clear, consistent message across the community that underage drinking is inappropriate, unacceptable and harmful.

As part of this work the PFS Coalition is interested in understanding parents’ attitudes about underage drinking and drug use among Stratford youth. Through this survey we will be able to better serve our youth with local prevention programming and information on underage drinking and other drug use. Your answers will also help us provide information that can assist parents in helping their children.

Please give us 4 minutes of your valuable time to complete the following 15-question survey by following this link: Take survey.

This survey is completely anonymous so please be as honest and complete as possible.
