Success Story Submission Request
The Enforcing Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center would
like to invite you to submit a success story request to be featured
in a future document highlighting environmental prevention strategies
in limiting the access of alcohol to underage youth. Upon publication,
the document will be made available on our website at www.udetc.org,
distributed across the United States to nearly 7,000 people in our
database, and will receive national recognition in a variety of
ways.
In order to qualify as a success story, the following criterion
must be met:
1. A policy change has been implemented that directly relates to
underage drinking (state law, local ordinance, school policy, or
institutional policy change) such as keg registration
or
2. Efforts that show a measurable decrease in underage drinking
or access to alcohol such as compliance checks conducted by enforcement
showing a consistent trend in diminishing non-compliance rates,
thus limiting the access of alcohol to underage youth from retail
outlets or other innovative approaches.
or
3. Innovative strategies that show collaborative efforts in reducing underage drinking such as agency partnerships or use of creative technologies that result in a steady decline in access of alcohol to underage youth.
You may submit your requests to the Center with a detailed narrative
of the proposed success story via email or regular mail. Please
