Project Know, specifically the Teen Alcohol and Addiction part of the site would be a critical resource for adolescents who want to stay aware of the dangers of alcohol. It goes over in detail the effects and dangers of alcohol abuse, in a manner that the reader can easily understand. Like other online resources, this is mostly a preventative resource, however it does link back to the main website, which itself is a supportive resource for those struggling not only with alcoholism, but also drug abuse. Therefore, this site offers something for those that seek to prevent alcoholism and those who already suffer from its effects. It also has comprehensive articles and lists on the dangers of other drugs that adolescents can use, especially those that come from low income neighborhoods and families, and those that partake in risk taking activities. While examining the resource, it can be seen that this ties not only to the France article, but to the Hammond article on Substance use among Youth in Canada, and even though the studies on the website are American based, the numbers they provide are still shocking to say the least, which can also help prevent those who see it from engaging in risk taking activities such as drinking.
