Since 1991 The Century Council has been committed to developing research-based educational programs for middle school through college students, their parents, teachers, and adult caregivers to help eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking.

While each program is developed based on solid research, the programs are also independently evaluated to ensure they are effective in reaching their target audience and successfully achieving their program goals whether that is facilitating meaningful conversations between parents and their middle school-age children about the dangers of underage drinking or increasing the knowledge of adults on state blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels and how alcohol, gender, and food impact individual BAC.

Rates of alcohol-related traffic fatalities among youth under 21 and underage drinking have decreased over the past 15 years. These statistics and others are positive indicators of the gains being made to reduce and ultimately eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking, and while we cannot claim to be the sole influence in these reductions, our data-driven programs have surely played a significant role.
