The temptation to drink among teens is known to rise when school is out and summer is in full swing. It is also a fact that adults have the power to keep alcohol out of the hands of kids, and that is the theme of a new 30-second TV spot created by Tri-Town Community Action Agency's North Providence, Smithfield and Johnston Substance Abuse Prevention Coalitions.
 
The TV spot opens with a life guard saying she is not the only one that can save a life this summer. It features a parent, police officer, older sibling and liquor store owner, each of whom play a vital role in preventing access to alcohol by underage youth.

The concept for the spot was developed by Barbara Dawson of Dawson Communications and produced by Jim Karpeichik of Ocean State Video.   Funding was provided by a grant from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration through the RI Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals  and managed by the Tri-Town Community Action Agency and the Smithfield, North Providence and Johnston Coalitions.
