Surgeon General Reports 2007

'A Call to Action' is a series of guides published to educate the nation by the Surgeon General in 2007. It addresses the significant health issue of underage drinking faced by our youth today.

"This Call to Action is a reminder that underage drinking has serious social costs and often tragic personal consequences. More than that, this Call to Action demonstrates that each of us has the opportunity to prevent underage drinking.

The Call to Action also offers a way forward through the collaborative effort of societal change involving parents, police officers, colleges, and communities. This type of societal change requires the discipline and determination to take small steps toward reducing underage drinking each day.

Many of these efforts are already underway, but much more must be done. The time to act is now. It won’t be easy. But the hard way is often the best way and the benefits of reducing underage drinking are significant and substantial." - The Honorable Michael O. Leavitt
