The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services contemplates awarding a one year cost reimbursement contract with four option years entitled Report to Congress on Preventing Underage Drinking Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking Act (STOP Act). This project is Set Aside for Small Business under NAICS Code 541990. This contract continues SAMHSA’s efforts to support the HHS Secretary as required by the STOP Act, and supports the work of the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD). This contract will produce and update both of these reports specifically in the areas of data, scientific and legal research, policy development, and survey and electronic questionnaire development and maintenance. In developing the report, the Contractor shall be expected to provide workshops/briefings to the federal prevention staff, convene small meetings, support community engagement events, and coordinate work with other expert consultants to fulfill the requirements of the STOP Act. SAMHSA was created in 1992 to work in collaboration with states to improve prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services for individuals with mental and/or substance use disorders. Its vision is to provide leadership and devote its resources toward helping the nation act on the knowledge that: behavioral health is essential for health, prevention works, treatment is effective and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) works with federal, state, public, and private organizations to develop comprehensive prevention systems by: Providing national leadership in the development of policies, programs, and services to prevent the onset of illegal drug use, prescription drug misuse and abuse, alcohol misuse and abuse, and underage alcohol and tobacco use; and, Promoting effective substance abuse prevention practices that enable states, communities, and other organizations to apply prevention knowledge in an effective manner. SAMHSA’s Strategic Plan – FY2019-FY2023, Priority 3: Advancing Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Support Services for Substance Use, sets a goal to reduce the use of tobacco and reduce the misuse of alcohol, the use of illicit drugs, and the misuse of over-the-counter and prescription medications and their effects on the health and well-being of Americans. Among Americans under age 21, alcohol is the most frequently used substance, used more often than tobacco, marijuana, or other illicit drugs. The 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) found that an estimated 9.0 percent of adolescents aged 12-17 were current alcohol users (2.2M adolescents who drank alcohol in the past month). An estimated 55.1 percent of young adults aged 18-25 were current alcohol users (18.8M young adults). While meaningful progress has been made to address underage drinking and related problems since the mid-1980s, underage drinking rates remain unacceptably high. More work remains to be done at all levels of society to sustain a national commitment to reduce underage drinking. To the extent possible, the development of the above mentioned questionnaire and the State Reports will draw on information already available from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism’s Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS).
