Harnessing Technology and Social Media to Address Alcohol Misuse in Adolescents and Emerging Adults

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invites you to join an informative and interactive free webinar.

Underage drinking and alcohol misuse among emerging adults remain serious public health problems. According to the 2021 NSDUH, 15% of people ages 12 to 20 and 50% of people ages 18 to 25 drank alcohol in the past month.

These data highlight the urgent need for innovative early behavioral interventions to prevent this escalation in alcohol misuse among our nation’s young people. The program features 2 researcher presentations:

  • Optimizing Prevention of Alcohol Misuse and Violence Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults
    Maureen Walton, Ph.D., University of Michigan
  • Social Media Use - Friend or Foe? How It Has Been Problematic Yet Holds Promise for Addressing College Drinking
    Mai-Ly Steers, Ph.D., Duquesne University

Please note – a Q&A session will follow the two presentations.

To join this free webinar, please send an RSVP by Monday, December 11, 2023, to dana.west@icf.com.

NIH Videocast will present the webinar at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=52418.
