Project Northland is a multilevel, three-year alcohol use prevention/intervention program. It includes alcohol prevention curricula, activities to link students to the community, and parent participation in alcohol education. The project also offers students school-based opportunities for alcohol-free extracurricular activities. At the end of the student's eighth grade year, significantly fewer students in the intervention districts (24 percent of eighth graders) reported using alcohol in the past month than those in the comparison districts (29 percent of eight graders).
