The More Than You Think (MTYT) campaign is all about letting Hawaii’s youth make positive decisions. Our research shows that Hawaii teens think that most of their peers are drinkers, when the truth is, most aren't. This means a majority of teens are already making good choices – we just need to remind them. MTYT focuses on the positive aspects of being a teen and provides tools to help them continue to make good decisions about alcohol and everyday life.
