Drinkingfacts.ca
On December 18, 2006, the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) with funding from Canada’s Drug Strategy, Health Canada, launched drinkingfacts.ca, a new youth website to raise awareness about the harms associated with high-risk drinking. Drinkingfacts.ca is targeted to youth 14 to 18 years of age.
Drinkingfacts.ca is based on extensive research and conversations with young Canadians. Young people stated that they want factual information so they can make informed decisions about alcohol. Information is presented in a variety of formats, including quizzes, Q & A, Did you know? and an ‘Alcopedia’. Youth tell their personal stories in candid videos and written format. Drinkingfacts.ca will be of interest to youth, parents and educators.
Visit Drinkingfacts.ca and feel free to forward this message to your information networks. Drinkingfacts.ca is designed to increase teens’ knowledge of alcohol-related risks so they will be better equipped to make decisions about drinking.
