The Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco (DAT) Awareness Program The Big Island Interscholastic Federation (BIIF) is comprised of 17 private and public high schools. In collaboration with the Department of Liquor Control and the Hawai'i County Project PAU Advisory Council, the athletic directors of the BIIF are planning a second DAT (DAT 2) awareness program in November 2006. Based on a similar program in the Oahu Interscholastic Association, the DAT program is comprised of a leadership workshop for student-athlete leaders who commit to conduct teach-ins in their feeder schools. The Reach Out Now curriculum, developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, is used in these teach-ins. The athletic directors and students are responsible to select which schools they will conduct teach-ins. The goals of this program are: • To acknowledge and encourage the use of the student-athletes' leadership positions and the opportunity of athletics to convey a positive message to youths; and • To encourage the modeling/mentoring by student-athletes in prevention efforts related to use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. The Department of Liquor Control will provide funding for this workshop. II. Impaired Driving Task Force. Public Service Announcements III. School programs. To be determined IV.
