# New Program Release: Underage Drinking Prevention

## These lessons help empower sids to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking

### Description

<https://app.plt4m.com/programs/45536/edit?edit=description>

*Ask, Listen, Learn:* *Kids and Alcohol Don’t Mix *is an underage drinking prevention program for youth in grades 4-8 and their parents and educators. The materials and resources empower kids to say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking. The lessons in this collection utilize science-based content, interactive lessons, and animated videos that also include practical lessons such as decision-making, goal-setting, and refusal strategies. The program provides versatile classroom resources to facilitate conversations about underage drinking with your students, while teaching them about the scientific effects of what they put in their bodies.

Program content regarding the effects of alcohol on the developing brain has been reviewed by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the marijuana module’s content is based on scientific information and resources from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Content is consistent with currently available science.
