Alcohol Use in Young Children Reality Tour

• 
  A Reality Tour group can be organized and ready to go within about 2 weeks and it needs 24 volunteers.
  
• 
  These volunteers should be from different areas
  
• 
  There are a variety of materials that are needed
  
• 
  On a 0-4 scale this program has been rated a 3.2
  
• 
  There are a lot of strengths for this program, however one of the weaknesses is that it provides little detailed guidance and structure of events.
  
• 
  In the studies that were done about this program, the children are asked how wrong do you think this is, or what do you think are some effects if you drink or smoke this
  
• 
  These were found to be very successful
  
• 
  Within these studies they provided those questions 3 times throughout the process, but did not have a control group or a place to provide feedback
  
• 
  There are a lot of materials used in this program, and some that aren’t even seen by the public. For the materials that are required by the developer it is about $5,000. This includes the rights and licensing for the materials required by the developer, a vinyl sign that each attendee should have as well as the license renewal. There are a lot more resources that could be used but they are either not required by the developer or they are free.
