The MEE Report: Reaching the Hip-Hop Generation
Price: $50
The MEE Report finds that African American urban youth may well be the most difficult audience to reach with anti-abuse or pro-social messages. This report is the result of two years of extensive research into the lives and lifestyles of urban youth, and examines hip-hop culture, the rap music phenomena, the dynamics of message assimilation, and relevant socioeconomic issues. It also explores the most effective message strategies to deal effectively with the cultural and communications dynamics of urban youth. It includes The MEE Report Update, which examines violence, substance abuse, and sexuality among urban youth.
