Description

This plan will serve as the guiding document for substance abuse prevention programs, policies, and practices that are funded by Virginia’s Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF-SIG) from the federal Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) to address the state’s priorities. The prioritized target is the consequence of motor vehicle crashes involving a driver who is under the influence of alcohol and between the ages of 15 and 24 years of age. In addition, the consumption patterns of young adult binge drinking among 18-24 year olds and general underage drinking that lead to the prioritized consequence will be monitored. It is anticipated that the principles included in this document will be infused into Virginia’s broader multi-systemic prevention system.
