Paragraph 1
Founded in 1981 as Students Against Driving Drunk, SADD’s focus initially was
to combat teen deaths due to drinking and driving. SADD has expanded its mis-
sion and name and now sponsors chapters called Students Against Destructive
Decisions. SADD now focuses on prevention of all destructive behaviors and atti-
tudes that are harmful to young people, including underage drinking, substance
abuse, violence, reckless driving, depression, and suicide. SADD’s unique
approach involves young people delivering education and prevention programming
to their peers through school- and community-wide activities and campaigns
responsive to the needs of their particular locations. Since its formation, SADD
has spread to all fi fty states, Canada, New Zealand, and many other international
locations.
