American Academy of Family Physicians. "Alcohol Advertising and Youth (Position Paper)." Aafp.org. 2010. Web. 14 Nov. 2010. Youth exposure to alcohol advertising, the targeting of youth, morbidity, mortality, and statistics are all key points in this document. Dates, age groups, money and legal issues are all talked about in this paper and using these in my essay will certainly bring out more credible information to this side of the argument. This source talks almost every main issue that has to do with underage drinking and teenagers. It gives convincing evidence that alcohol ads are being aimed at a crowd who isnt legal to consume them, but it also questions the morality of doing this by giving facts about alcohol related deaths in minors.

Parsons, Tim, and Jarrett Carter. "Youth Exposure to Alcohol Ads in Magazines Declining." Camy.org. 10 Aug. 2010. Web. 16 Nov. 2010. In another study by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, it says that alcohol advertisement in magazines directed towards youth is down 49% between 2001 and 2008. The study analyzes the percent of ads that once showed in magazines to how many are showed now, and what type of alcohol is being promoted. CAMY is explaing the progress that has been made since the begining of this injustice. The article gives CAMY's side of the argument through stats to show what changes have been made since 2001.

King III, Charles, Michael Siegel, David H. Jernigan, Laura Wulach, Craig Ross, Karen Dixon, and Joshua Ostroff. "Adolescent Exposure to Alcohol Advertising in Magazines: An Evaluation of Advertising Placement in Relation to Underage Youth Readership." Journal of Adolescent Health 45.6 (2009): 626-33. Web. 16 Nov. 2010. In this study, it was proposed that the alcoholic drinks that are most often consumed by minors, are often put in magazines as advertisements that underage men and women are most likely to read. The study took place between 2002-06 and the results were not friendly. It was obvious after the study concluded, alcoholic drinks popular to minors were frequently put in the magazines with higher youth readership. Alcohol companies are focusing their ads to seek out the younger crowd through the popular magazines they choose to read. Although just an abstract, it will make a good reference on studies that have gained valuable research.

Hanson Ph.D., David J. "Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth: Its Objectives and Methods." Alcohol Abuse Prevention: Some Serious Problems. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. Unlike almost all the other sources I have come across, this website is the devils advocate to all con arguments to alcohol advertising directed towards youth. It explains that CAMY (one of the largest contributors to standing up against these ads) is not being intellectually honest and how they use statistics to lie. The site is one of the few I could find on the pro argument towards the advertisements that minors are exposed.

Bullen, Rebecca Richards. "The Power and Impact of Gender-Specific Media Literacy." Youth Media Reporter 3.(2009): 149-152. Communication & Mass Media Complete. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. Girls are not the only ones who are effected by the media. Both boys and girls look at the media and react to the stereotypes they see. However, they are effected differently. Girls are effected by images of what they think they should look like specifically their bodies. This causes them to do things that are stupid and even dangerous to achieve what they think they should look like.

Center For Science in the Public Interest. "Alcohol Advertising, Televised Sports, and Underage Youth." Cspinet.org. Aug. 2007. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. Televising alcohol during sporting games is highly effective to market your product to a large group of minors. It explains how many younger athletes and fans watch college sporting events and alcoholic companies spent over fifty two million dollars on advertising on commercial breaks. This doesnt mean its only appeals to underage viewers, many legal consumers also watch college sports which makes a good argument for the people who are trying to get thier product advertised during these games. This site also talks about other ways ads reach minors and what effects and influences are given based of a number of statistics.

Tyler, Kimberly A., Katherine A. Johnson, and Douglas A. Brownridge. "A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Child Maltreatment on Later Outcomes among High-Risk Adolescents." Journal of Youth and Adolescence 37.5 (2008): 506-521. ERIC. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. A sample was taken from 360 students that examined the effects of childhood abuse, parenting and well-being through running away and school involvement. Results showed that parenting had a direct involvement with school engagement, running away and well-being. Neglect during childhood was related to abuse while sexual abuse and living in a disadvantaged neighborhood were left with worse well-being. Running away was definately associated with participation in violent activities. Gender also moderated the relationship with running away and abuse in favor of females.

Lastly, the study confirmed that it takes a combination of financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial knowledge together in order to achieve a set of strong techniques.

Garfield, Craig F., Paul J. Chung, and Paul J. Rathouz. "Alcohol Advertising in Magazines and Adolescent Readership." The Journal of the American Medical Association. Web. 14 Nov. 2010. The most important thing about this journal entry is the table showing the age of its readers and the number of alcohol related ads that are in each magazine. While some magazines have very few, others like sports illustrated has one of the highest alcohol advertisement rate between 1997 and 2001. The statistics here are a well layed out mathmatically measured data that supports the argument of how alcohol companies are indeed placing their product in places that will most likely be veiwed by people who are underage.
