The South Mountain WORKS Coalition?s targeted region is the South Mountain community in the larger Phoenix metropolitan area of the state of Arizona. The Coalition will work towards reducing youth substance use by increasing community collaboration; increasing youth, parent, and community member perception of the risks of alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs; reducing youth access to alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs; and increasing parent-child communication surrounding the dangers of youth substance use. These goals will be addressed by providing information and enhancing skills on the risks of alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs through research and/or evidence-based education curriculums targeting youth, parent and community members; capacity building strategies for meaningful recruitment and engagement of coalition members and sectors; traditional and social media strategies to increase the perception of risk and reduce youth access; environmental strategies to provide information, change physical design and reduce youth access and perception of risk; policy change and advocacy efforts on the consequences of youth access to alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs. These strategies will be data driven through survey collection from youth, parents, adults, and community members on the risk, perception, access, and use of youth substances.
