It's Time to Brainstorm Solutions!

For the past year we have studied who, where, and why Utah County residents abuse prescription drugs and drive drunk (to view summary of data collected see: http://sites.google.com/site/utahcountycoalition/data-collection-workgroup).

Here is how you add your ideas - How do you think we could prevent future prescription and alcohol abuse in Utah County? Here are some options:


  1. Post your ideas on this blog (please indicate if your idea is for prescription or alcohol)

  2. Email Kye your ideas at mailto:mKyeN.UCADM@state.ut.us

  3. We have already started a list of ideas on our website and will add your ideas to that list (to view ideas see: http://sites.google.com/site/utahcountycoalition/Home/strategies. I strongly encourage you to view this page.

The coalition will, in the next few months, invest coalition money in the ideas best calculated to reduce substance abuse. This is your community, money will be invested here, be part of the conversation.

Thanks for your input!
