Believe In All Your Possibilities
    This program is a community-based alcohol and tobacco-free youth program for middle school students and parents in Sarasota County, Florida. Members include the Community Advisory Committee, made up of community leaders, the Sarasota County Health Department and the University of South Florida.

Local Research
   
Materials and activities for the program were customized from research conducted in Sarasota County. The research included student and parent focus groups, one-on-one interviews and surveys exploring behaviors and perceptions of alcohol and tobacco use among sixth through tenth grade students. The findings led to the development of program materials and activities.
