Media Detective Family Night
Media Detectives Snoop and Scoop teach families the strategies advertisers use to persuade people to use alcohol and tobacco products and discover the missing health information about what really happens when you use alcohol and tobacco. Parents and students learn to critically analyze and reject unhealthy persuasive media messages to prevent use of alcohol, tobacco, and vaping products.
