The Surgeon General is the Nation’s top doctor and public health officer. The President of the United States appoints the Surgeon General to help protect and promote the health of the Nation. When a health topic needs special attention, the Surgeon General issues a national call to action to everyone in America. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action To Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking explains why underage alcohol use is a major public health and safety issue.
As a contributing writer to the Call to Action, Hamilton Beazley, Ph.D., Scholar-in-Residence at St. Edward’s University,will give an overview on tackling underage drinking, a major public health issue facing college students. When the SEU community has
the facts and the right tools, they can take action.
Dr. Beazley will provide an overview along with a guide that gives you the knowledge and
tools you need to take action against underage drinking. He will tell you about underage alcohol
use and the damage it can do. And, he suggests ways you can end underage drinking in your
home, family, community, and across the country. An electronic copy of the guide is available at the following link: Call to Action Guide.
Space is limited. To participate in the Call to Action, please complete the application below:
