ACCIDENTS AND CRIME: THE ALCOHOL CONNECTION -
Begin this activity by reading aloud a newspaper or magazine article about an
alcohol-related accident or crime. Brainstorm situations that may occur as a
result of the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and write the ideas on
the board. Supply the class with magazine and newspaper articles that clearly
illustrate the relationship of substance use and incidents such as fires and car
crashes. Students graph the incidents by type and substance and discuss the
conclusions. Each student and his/her parent or guardian watch a local newscast
for three consecutive nights. For each program viewed, students chart the number
and kinds of incidents reported involving substance use.
Variation: Have a police officer discuss the number and kinds of ATOD-related incidents occurring in the community. Each student writes a thank-you letter to the officer, recommending one solution to the problems described in the presentation.
