Project BRAIN

THE CHALLENGE
Teen drinking is a persistent public health issue with social and economic consequences. Tackling it is a major challenge, particularly when it most commonly takes place in secret. Broward County (Florida) Public Schools ambitiously set out to create a social norms campaign to discourage underage alcohol use. One giant hurdle to that approach was the fact that Broward teens strongly believed underage drinking was common, thus blowing any credibility of a “norming” campaign.

TYPICAL APPROACH
Preach the dangers and downfalls of underage drinking.
