WV students were selected due
to their efforts with community prevention. Youth worked with WVAH Fox 11 television station in Huntington, WV and Admix Broadcasting Service in Charleston, WV, which is an independent production facility for radio spots and voiceovers, to produce public
service announcements addressing underage alcohol use. These
announcements have been sent to each television and radio station in WV
and distributed to other community prevention professionals.
If you would like to utilize these commercials and information
regarding underage alcohol use in WV at a community event,
please contact Matt Smith.
