Statewide Group Releases White Paper on Underage Drinking in Kansas
Underage drinking is a significant issue that affects every Kansas community
and it is a huge drain on our state budget. The Kansas Leadership to
Keep Children Alcohol Free Committee, which is coordinated by Kansas
Family Partnership, has developed this white paper to educate communities
and state leaders about how underage drinking affects Kansans.
It outlines the effects of underage drinking; youth alcohol use rates
in Kansas; the economic impact of underage drinking; current Kansas
policies to reduce youth access; and suggested policy changes and effective
strategies to address this issue.
This white paper is available at: http://www.kansasfamily.com/getinvolved-ksleadership.cfm
