Underage drinking laws and their enforcement include many specific topics of substantive interest to various sites. To provide information on these topics efficiently and cost-effectively, a series of electronic seminars has been presented via webinars.
Each call is hosted by the Center and includes presentations by national experts, researchers, and representatives from OJJDP-funded sites who have experience in a specific area of interest. Written materials on the topic, including documents developed by PIRE for the project, are sent to participants in advance. In addition, a web-based element is included to enable participants with web access to follow PowerPoint presentations during the conferences. Callers are given an opportunity to ask questions and relate their own experiences.
