Positivity Prevails

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

A new study shows that scare tactics may have the opposite effect when it comes to teens and drinking.

Parents, educators and professionals are always looking for effective ways to keep kids from drinking. Unfortunately, a new study shows that anti-drinking ads which employ scare tactics or guilt may produce the opposite effect in young people, and can actually increase the likelihood of binge drinking, according to a report on BehavioralHealthCentral.com.

The questionnaire-based study had researchers interviewing 1,200 undergrads after viewing the negative ads. (more…)
