Problem	Root Cause	Local Conditions	Strategy	Activity	Short-term outcomes	Mid-term outcomes	Long-term outcomes	
Alcohol abuse by county youth contributes to poor academic, social, and health outcomes	Limited decision making skills	Too few programs to develop skills	Implement curriculum to enhance critical thinking skills	Implement Project Northland, Class Action	Youth use knowledge of drinking consequences in decision-making; post-test surveys show improved decision-making skills	Follow up surveys reveal retained decision making skills and resulting risky choices and levels of consumption (binge drinking)	One year later, binge drinking, perception of harm, and alcohol availability reduced in MYDAUS survey

Youth alcohol related arrests and traffic accidents decline

	Peer pressure combined with low self esteem and limited opportunities for self expression	Peers overplay social value of drinking and minimize its risks 	Implement curriculum which facilitates positive group thinking and weighing of consequences of choices	Implement Project Northland, Class Action	Post-program surveys reveal youth gain awareness of harm from poor choices and support in resisting peer  pressure	Follow-up surveys reveal developed skills lead to behavior-changing decisions and reduced consumption		
	Family and community norms contribute to ready accessibility	Youth get adults to purchase or get from home supply, combined with inadequate supervision and sanctions
	Reduce  accessibility from these sources through public education on consequences of underage drinking	Media PSA’s  stories, presentations, and local Community Trials Intervention activities such as Fatal Vision 	Usable information is available for family and personal consideration, as assessed from sample queries or surveys of participants	Perception of availability reduced in follow-up student surveys		

Problem	Root Cause	Local Conditions	Strategy	Activity	Short-term outcomes	Mid-term outcomes	Long-term outcomes
