Did you know that 74 percent of kids turn to their parents for guidance on drinking? That’s why Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) created this website. It’s packed with tips and expert resources so parents can talk effectively about alcohol with teens and support safer communities.

We’re proud to include:

• A parenting handbook created by Robert Turrisi, PhD, of Pennsylvania State University
• Q&As with noted alcohol researchers such as Robert Brewer, MD, MSPH, of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, James Fell, MA, of Pacific Institute for Research & Evaluation, and Traci Toomey, PhD, of University of Minnesota.

MADD knows that informed, caring parents can make a difference—and we’re here to help
