The Surgeon General, the Nation's top public health officer, is appointed by the President of the United States to help protect and promote the health of the Nation. The recently published "Surgeon General's Call to Action To Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking" [ED496083] highlights underage alcohol use as a major public health and safety issue. This Guide to Action for Educators highlights key issues related to underage drinking found in the complete "Call to Action To Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking." It was developed to provide educators and other school personnel a guide to what they can do to take action against underage drinking and why. [This public document was edited by Patricia A. Powell and Vivian B. Faden and prepared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) under the direction of the Office of the Surgeon General.]
