STICKER SHOCK
A retailer and consumer education environmental strategy.
The Soap Lake Prevention Coalition began implementing this strategy in May of 2023 by having youth place "Do Not Provide for Minors" stickers on cases of alcohol at our local AKINS grocery store. This year we are hoping to increase the effectiveness of this strategy by coupling the stickers with a youth-led "CANS" survey of retailers. This survey will provide retailers with knowledge of what youth notice when they enter their stores and will provide an opportunity to educate retailers about best practices to help keep alcohol out of the reach of youth.
