Reality Versus Perception Teenage Drinking


 The idea that local
teenagers drink regularly
is a myth. The Florida Cen-
ter for Prevention Research
(FCPR), partnered with the
Panhandle Area Education
Consortium (PAEC), con-
ducted a Teen Norms Sur-
vey over a 12-county area in
North Florida at the begin-
ning of the 2007 spring
term to evaluate the social
norms of local high school
students. The positive re-
sults of the survey will be
promoted during the 2007-
2008 school year to expose
students to their peers' true
attitudes toward teenage al-
cohol use in order to influ-
ence even more healthy be-
haviors.
 The Teen Norms Sur-
vey given to students was
structured to determine ac-
tual student behaviors and
also what they perceived to
be 'typical' student behav-


iors. The actual students be-
haviors indicated statistics
such as: The majority of
students has not used alco-
hol in the last 30 days, plans
to date a non-drinker and
thinks it is wrong for people
under the age of 21 to
drink. An overwhelming
majority, in the 80 to 90 per-
cent range, cited that they
consume non-alcoholic
drinks when hanging out
with their friends.
 The survey also con-
firmed that what students
considered 'typical' student
behavior was far worse
than the reality Students
were inclined to think that
most of their peers- were
drinking alcohol on a regu-
lar basis and thought it was
alright for people their age
to drink. Not so.
 "This school year's so-
cial norms campaign seeks
to correct the mispercep-


tions high schools students
have about what 'everybody
is doing,' so that they are
aware their own good
habits and sound judgment
are the norm," said Rick
Howell, FCPR's project
manager for this high
school social norms project.
The common goal of all par-
ties involved in this cam-
paign is to ensure students
comprehend what their
true behaviors are in order
to effect healthy changes for
our area's youth.
 The Florida Center for
Prevention Research devel-
ops and executes numerous
health care and youth pro-
grams throughout the state.
Originally funded by a por-
tion of a tobacco settlement
won by the State of Florida,
FCPR was established in
1998 through Florida State
University to support the
Florida Tobacco Pilot Pro-
gram, aimed at reducing to-
bacco use in Florida's
youth. Today, with the help
of other state government
entities, FCPR has expand-
ed its mission, "To provide
innovative research, educa-
tion, training, and techno-
logical solutions to address
the challenges of substance
abuse prevention and other
social issues among Flori-
da's population.
