- A 2005 study commissioned by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and conducted by the University of Connecticut surveyed over 100,000 high school students about their knowledge and views of First Amendment rights.
- The study found that high school students have significant gaps in their understanding of free speech and press rights, with most unable to correctly answer questions about issues like flag-burning and censorship.
- The study concluded that exposure to student media and classroom discussion of the First Amendment are important to developing an appreciation for these rights among young people. However, many schools are reducing or eliminating student media programs.

The article summarizes an interview with Dr. Diana Silver and Dr. Farzana Kapadia about their research comparing child health outcomes between distressed and non-distressed US cities from 1992-2002. Some key points:
- They found disparities between distressed and non-distressed cities either remained constant or increased, even as overall health improved for all cities during a strong economy.
- Their research suggests "a rising tide lifts all boats, but fails to close gaps," as distressed cities lacked capacity to improve as much.
- They are conducting a follow-up study looking at outcomes 10 years later, during economic downturns, to see how disparities may have changed.

The document summarizes recommendations from focus groups with 46 formerly incarcerated youth in Los Angeles County juvenile detention camps on how to improve the camps. The youth identified 5 key themes, with the most important being the need to increase and diversify rehabilitation and educational programs. The youth felt there were not enough programs to keep them occupied, which led to boredom, anger and fights. While some camps had improved, many still lacked sufficient programs. The youth provided examples of positive programs they experienced and stressed the need for more academic, mental health, career and skill-building programs. They believed increased programming could help rehabilitate youth and reduce recidivism.

The document discusses the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on opioid misuse and treatment in the United States. It notes that while opioid prescriptions and treatment were decreasing before the pandemic, COVID-19 could reverse this progress due to pandemic-related stress, social isolation, and strain on the healthcare system. Early data from Kentucky shows increases in opioid overdoses after the state declared an emergency. In response, policies have aimed to increase access to telehealth and take-home medication to maintain treatment during the pandemic. Continued policy adjustments will be needed to address impacts on the opioid epidemic.

Narcan, also known as Naloxone, is a prescription medication that can reverse an opioid overdose by blocking opioids in the brain for 30-90 minutes. There are two forms of Narcan, a nasal spray and injectable. Non-medical individuals can effectively administer Narcan to someone experiencing an overdose. If administered to someone who is not overdosing, Narcan has no effect. At over 2,000 pharmacies in New York, a person does not need a prescription to obtain Narcan.
People who inject opioid use either needles or syringes. Other individuals, such as people who have diabetes, also use these for medical reasons. These “sharps” require safe disposal.
It is not always easy to tell when people around us are struggling with drug use. If you are concerned about someone in your life, you can look out for the following warning signs and reach out to them.
The opioid epidemic has become a public health crisis in recent years. Factors that increase the risk of opioid misuse include experiencing physical or social hardships, mental health issues, substance use, and criminal activity. Opioids are both legal and illegal drugs, including prescription medications like oxycodone and hydrocodone as well as heroin. Addiction is driven by biological changes in the body and brain that occur quickly after regular opioid use. Prevention through education is key to addressing this epidemic and reducing stigma around addiction.
This brief highlights common themes regarding treatment trajectories among participants in the Tompkins County Family Treatment Court and describes their feedback for the program.
This research brief examines trends in opioid misuse and child welfare outcomes in New York State between 2006 and 2016. It finds that increases in opioid misuse and rates of child maltreatment were geographically concentrated, with many counties in Central NY and the Southern Tier experiencing high increases in both measures. Specifically, 17 counties saw above-median increases in both opioid emergency department admissions and reported child maltreatment rates, indicating particular vulnerability in these regions. In contrast, most counties downstate like in the Hudson Valley saw below-median increases in both measures.
Children of undocumented immigrants experience severe disadvantages that impact future success and contributions to social and economic change. Schools can promote well-being by providing safe environments for child and parental engagement.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
