And yet…
Do Social Norms Campaigns work?• Campaigns don’t change behavior• They line up perceptions with what is actually
going on• In isolation, they are not effective• In conjunction with other
strategies, they can be effective
March 10, 2011
Involve Students to Create Content
• Orientation programs: T-shirts, cards, screen savers• Ads in school newspapers, classroom posters, • Ads in movie theaters• FB/Twitter (use quotes from students (with names
removed) – have others respond)• Posters on inside door of bathroom stall
Use students to “laugh test“ the message
March 10, 2011
There are Recommended Social Norms Campaigns
• Students Are Healthier Than You Think (VCU)• MOST of Us – (Minnesota and Montana)• Michigan State University’s Social Norms Program• The Grounds Wide Campaign (UVA)• The Real Project (FSU)• The DeKalb County Partnership for a Safe, Active and
Family Environment Social Marketing Project• Strength in Numbers Social Norms Campaign: Evanston
Township High School

Monitoring the Future Results
March 10, 2011
Targeted prevention messages MAY be a contributing factor in increases in perceived risk.
Headline: Social Host Drinking Law Discussions
2/17/11: District Attorney, Police Chief and City Attorney present program at local high school
• Reviewed state laws and consequences (prosecution of hosts, etc.) such as:– It is a crime to allow a person under 21 to possess alcohol on
property owned or controlled by the host.– A 19-year-old who allows his 19-year-old friend to drink
alcohol in his dorm room is just as liable under the law as a 50-year-old who allows underage drinking at a high school graduation party, according to officials.

NOT TO BE DISCOURAGING, BUT…
The information you have is not the information you want
The information you want is not the information you need
The information you need is not the information you can obtain
The information you can obtain costs more than what you can pay
Peter BernsteinMarch 10, 2011
So we return to the Wisdom of the Group
• Solving the problem of underage and binge drinking in 14 – 25 year olds is a coordination and cooperation problem
• To be wise, group should be:– Diverse– Independent– Decentralized
• Exercise set up to take advantage of these conditions
March 10, 2011
Small Groups
• Each group has a facilitator, a worksheet to be completed, and resources for the topic
• Groups will have 20 minutes to: – Introduce themselves to group– Examine resources (evidence based strategies)– Discuss which strategies might work in Sullivan
County– Prioritize – what is easiest to implement / most likely
to succeed.
