DELVING IN: Peter Debenedittis on Facing the Problem of Alcohol-Related Deaths in New Mexico

8/21/2022

 
Stuart Kelter interviews Peter Debenedittis, a decades-long advocate for substance abuse prevention. He has written 11 volumes of youth prevention lessons, and has been a motivational speaker across the country to combined audiences of over a quarter million students. Peter D. has consulted for the Centers for Disease Control, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the White House Office on Drug Control Policy.

Dr. Debenedittis moved to Santa Fe in 1995 and in 1999 launched a media literacy education firm specializing in substance abuse prevention. Having previously staffed a successful gubernatorial campaign in the U.S. territory of Guam and having, himself, run for Governor of New Mexico in 2018, he has honed the political marketing skills with which to address public health issues. He is the author of the Alcohol Literacy Challenge curricula, which aims to prevent underage and binge drinking. He also become a leading proponent for legislation that would raise taxes on alcohol as a research-backed strategy for reducing alcohol consumption in New Mexico. According to recent articles by Ted Alcorn of New Mexico in Depth, New Mexico is the state with by far the highest rate of alcohol-related deaths.
