We’re inviting parents and guardians of Lake County students to take a brief (under 10 minutes) confidential survey about perceptions related to youth and alcohol.
Please answer with your oldest student currently in grades 6–12 in mind.
Participation is voluntary, and you may skip any question.
Your input helps inform local efforts that support the health and safety of young people. Demographic questions are only used to understand the diversity of survey participants — no individual will be identified in any reports.
When's the best time to talk to your teen about not using alcohol underage?
¿Cuál es el mejor momento para hablar con tus hijo para que no beban alcohol?
Answer: Whenever they’re ready to talk to you.
Talk about not using alcohol underage when they’re ready. Even if you feel overwhelmed or underqualified, talk to your teen when the moment is right.

Talking is everything
Talking to your teen about underage drinking is important. When you talk can be just as critical as what you say. It's necessary to find the right time to have open, honest conversations. Look for moments when your teen is calm and receptive, and prepare yourself ahead of time to feel confident and connected. Building trust now can help your teen make safer choices later.
