NIAAA launched a new web resource, NIAAA for Middle School. The site contains information and interactive activities to help parents, caregivers and teachers of middle school students introduce and reinforce key messages about peer pressure, resistance skills and other important topics related to underage drinking. 

NIAAA for Middle School replaces and continues the objectives of the long-standing Cool Spot website, remaining grounded in the Alcohol Misuse Prevention Study from the University of Michigan.
