Chapter 4 presents the innovations in parent activism in the affluent suburban communities of southern Connecticut. Chapter 5 focuses on the parent organized door-to-door compaign in Omaha, Nebraska. Chapter 6 describes parent networking in Nassau County, New York. Chapter 7 presents the programs developed in the inner city black neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. Chapter 8 describes a statewide "war on drugs" project which took place in Texas. Chapter 9 features a California program which focuses on peer influence as a motivator for a drug-free lifestyle.
