Today’s young people are bombarded with persuasive messages about tobacco and alcohol – messages that make smoking look normal, and drinking look cool. So learning to understand and analyze these messages from every kind of media outlet is more important than ever.

mediaSharpThe text and video kit offer an ideal project for a classroom, youth group, after-school program, scout troop, faith community group – anywhere youth gather to learn. Already educators and youth leaders across the country are using it and raving about its appeal among young people. And, it complies with CDC’s Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco and Alcohol use, which makes MediaSharpSM an easy fit into a school setting.
