This is a national movement that promotes the parental engagement forstered during frequent family dinners as a simple, effective way to prevent substance abuse in kids. Family Day is celebrated annually on the fourth Monday in September and was launched by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA*) at Columbia University in 2001.
CASA research reveals that compared to children who have frequent family dinners (five or more per week), children who have infrequent family dinners (less than three per week) are:
- Two and a half times likelier to have used marijuana
- Two and a half times likelier to have used tobacco
- One and a half times likelier to have drunk alcohol
