The presentation is based on Dr Rivera's report, Youth Alcohol Access, Consumption, and Consequences in Anchorage, Alaska: 2012 Update, prepared for Volunteers of America Alaska Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) Project.
A report was initially prepared for the CMCA Project by Dr. Rivera in 2010 identifying indicators of youth alcohol access, consumption, and consequences in Anchorage and/or Alaska. The purpose of that original indicators report was to provide a baseline description of the underage drinking problem prior to the implementation of CMCA efforts. The 2012 update looks at the current underage drinking problem in Anchorage and/or Alaska and assesses changes to the problem that have taken place over time.
