Oklahoma
Governor's
Task
Force
on
Underage
Drinking
Prevention
|
|
|
In
October
2005,
Governor
Brad
Henry
selected
a
team
of
seven
individuals
to
attend
a
national
meeting
to
address
the
serious
problem
associated
with
underage
drinking.
As
a
result
of
this
meeting,
Governor
Brad
Henry,
by
executive
order
dated
December
19,
2005,
created
a
15
member
Task
Force
on
Prevention
of
Underage
Drinking.
For
12
months,
the
Governor’s
Task
Force
on
Prevention
of
Underage
Drinking
worked
on
developing
recommendations
to
reduce
the
tremendous
impact
of
underage
drinking
in
Oklahoma.
Task
force
members
and
contributors
included
representatives
from
the
areas
of
health
care,
legislation,
education,
law
enforcement
and
other
areas,
with
substantial
input
from
statewide
youth
groups.
The
task
force
created
12
recommendations
and
compiled
them
into
the
Task
Force
Recommendations
and
Comprehensive
Plan
which
was
submitted
to
the
office
of
Gov.
Brad
Henry
in
December.
Each
recommendation
is
presented
with
a
rationale
as
well
as
state
level
and
community
level
recommendations
for
action
on
preventing
underage
drinking.

| Youth
Suicide
Prevention |
|
Suicide
remains
one
of
the
leading
causes
of
death
in
the
United
States,
especially
for
young
people
ages
15-24.
Although
multiple
factors
contribute
to
suicide,
at
least
90
percent
of
all
people
who
kill
themselves
have
a
mental
disorder,
a
substance
abuse
disorder,
or
a
combination
of
disorders.
Oklahoma
’s
death
rate
for
suicide
exceeds
that
of
the
U.S.
