Social Norms Marketing in the Schools
| |
 The Students Against Destructive Decisions Chapters are busy gathering survey responses which will be used to develop a positive social norms media campaign in the schools. Research has shown that if positive norms are highlighted (such as "most students don't approve of pressuring another student to drink"), then the misperception that everyone is drinking all the time decreases, and overall use rates decrease. Thank you students for helping with this effort!
