I am the This Is Us coordinator. This Is Us is a prevention program that aims to increase healthy behaviors among middle and high school students. The program involves the social norms approach which is a research-based practice that has produced remarkable results in reducing alcohol and tobacco. Research shows that if students perceive an unhealthy behavior, they tend to alter their behaviors to fit the norm, even if it isn’t reality. Most Summit County students are making healthy choices, but they do not know that they are “most students”. By correcting misperceptions through a positive and intensive media campaign, This is US will in turn increase healthy behaviors.
