Our community plays a vital role in protecting youth health and shaping a safer future. We are currently assessing how the retail environment may influence young people’s access to and perceptions of alcohol and tobacco products. By understanding what youth see and experience in local retailers we can identify opportunities to strengthen prevention efforts and support healthier choices.

This work helps guide community prevention strategies focused on:

  • Reducing access
  • Changing community norms
  • Improving retailer practices

If you’d like to help make our community a healthier and safer place to live, please use the link below to access the Community Scan Tool, along with guidance for using it. Your participation supports prevention efforts and positive change in our community!
