Abstract: To help address the problem of underage drinking (UAD) and its consequences, SAMHSA sponsors nationwide Communities Talk activities approximately every 2 years. These activities are intended to work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of the public health dangers of UAD and to engage communities in evidence-based prevention. Notably, Communities Talk activities provide a forum for communities to discuss ways they can best prevent UAD by reducing the availability of alcohol and by creating community norms that discourage demand. The information is collected to document the implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the federally sponsored activities lead to additional activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk.
