An Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Event

 

Zero Adult Provider (ZAP) Project

The goal of ZAP is effectively respond to underage drinking to identify how youth are getting alcohol and to change the future behavior of both providers and underage drinkers. ZAP focuses on changing law enforcement resources and mindset when responding to underage drinking. ZAP also provides examples of how court systems have provided effective sanctions and interventions. The ZAP project is funded by the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws program of the MN Dept. of Public Safety. The Minnesota Institute of Public Health, also home to MPRC, administers ZAP. For more information about ZAP, contact Sheila Nesbitt at snesbitt@miph.org or 763-427-5310 x128.
