Alcohol is the drug most widely used by teens. Studies show that many teens begin drinking before their 13th birthdays. This early alcohol use is associated with health and social problems, including alcohol abuse and dependence, alcohol-related violence and injuries, issues related to drinking and driving, truancy, risky sexual behavior, and other drug use throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

Hazelden's Project Northland series for middle school and high school students is a state-of-the-art alcohol-use prevention program backed by more than 18 years of research and more than 45 scientific publications. Students participating in Project Northland showed a 30% reduction in weekly drinking and a 20% reduction in monthly drinking. Research also shows that Project Northland can significantly reduce teen marijuana and tobacco use.

Now better-than-ever, the 2nd Edition of Project Northland includes helpful new resources, reflects greater diversity, shows realistic situations facing today's youth, and maintains fidelity to the original version and its powerful prevention messages. This 2nd Edition is completely redesigned to be more portable and user-friendly. Delivering Project Northland is now easier than ever!
