As a result of these community changes, students’ risk of a host of problems that could threaten their bright futures will be decreased.   By pooling their knowledge and resources, coalition members are effectively and efficiently working to reduce youth access to alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs, and foster a community expectation that youth will stay alcohol and drug free.
