Due to these challenges and the pressures of youth, many young people are finding themselves at the center of substance abuse
Substance abuse is a big problem in campuses all over due to uninformed decisions which many young people engage in.
University marks an important stage for the lives of many young people because this is where they build their careers and also make decisions which would impact on their lives. However it is also challenging because some of the decisions here could be destructive for example this is where they learn bad vices as well.
1-Campus life is one of the most challenges to young people due to peer pressure and school work.

Over 70000 rapes
Over 1400 College students die of Alcohol related abuse
Almost half of the suicide cases in the states are caused by substance abuse
Drinking on campus
Substance abuse is one of the things which have impacted negatively on many campus students . In many schools, taking drugs has become almost a norm in the sense that many students are spending most of their times on drugs than school work which has affected the quality of education.
1-Over 70000 rapes are as a result of drug abuse
Over 1400 College students die of Alcohol related abuse
Almost half of the suicide cases in the states are caused by substance abuse
More than 4 people out of 10 started drinking when they were on campus
Most of the people fighting drug abuse today started off in Colleges and universities.

According to research
There is also an increase in the number of accidents and academic problems which has been caused by alcohol abuse.
There are many reasons as to why any one would be worried about the current situation as far as drug use is concerned for example the number of on campus arrests have gone up and sexual assault cases are also rampant, research indicates that these has been caused by the use and abuse of substances.1-According to (James, G.(2009)), there has been an increase in the number of alcohol arrests on campus to about 21%The number of sexual assaults which are related to substance abuse have also gone up with over 97000 students having been victimsThere is also an increase in the number of accidents and academic problems which has been caused by alcohol abuse.

environment to result in alcohol addiction. More studies should also enlighten the extent to which genes participate to alcohol issues, both in youngsters and adults (Foster, et al., 2013).
Socioeconomic Model:
Researchers have keen interest to find the link between behavioral health conditions in adulthood and childhood socioeconomic status (SES). Some studies revealed that the youngsters with low SES are susceptible towards substance use in young age. Huang and Goodman studied the first wave cross-sectional; he found that having low SES was linked with greater alcoholic consumption. Goodman found that lower income or the financial crisis and low educational status of the parents led to individual complexes and thus more significant depression.
Reinherz along with his fellows, from the year 1977-2000 observed 360 suspects and concluded that low SES of family and large family were linked with substance abuse and alcoholism issues at the early age of life (Masten, et al., 2014). Hamilton and his fellows, Ontario Student Drug Use Survey, found that youngsters (12-19) having educated parents were less prone or susceptible to get involve in risky or dangerous drinking or drug abuse.
Although we have confirmation those boys with high SES may also be liable for having the substance addiction. Alcohol use is sensitive to price, according to research consumption declines as the price rises. For youngsters with raised SES, with sound financial status show that the cost of substance abuse is lower than that of the boys with low SES. Bellis and his fellows found that kids who spend more money drink more, heavy drinking in public as well while the ones with low SES drink less (Miller, et al., 2010).
Binge drinking is associated with driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) and homicidal or accidental deaths of college going students. The fact that illegal drugs are considered illegal in the USA, the substance abuse causes youngsters to get themselves involve in criminal justice. Thus, the substance abuse can cause extraordinary adverse effects for boys.
The rationale of the study is to determine that the adolescents with high SES, having a financial status and educated parents, are susceptible to get involve in alcohol consumption and illegal drug abuse, using the nationally-representative sample of college students in the USA. Bellis and his fellows collected cross-sectional data on alcohol consumption in the UK and Martin along with his colleagues who examined pervasiveness of alcohol consumption among college students in the USA (Levy, et al., 2011). As a lot of literature is being written on adults with low SES, the results of this research can guide the parents and teachers to recognize the students who are at risk for substance abuse in future.

OverviewThe US is currently undergoing an energy boom largel.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
The US is currently undergoing an energy boom largely because of the development of the greatly expanded use of a well technique developed over 40 years ago - hydraulic fracking. It can be used for both oil and natural gas wells.. The technique allows previously unrecoverable oil and gas in old, played out wells to be accessed and increases the efficiency of recovery in new wells significantly. The current level of both recovery and new well drilling is dramatically higher than it has been for decades. The dramatic increase in well activity, some of which has been near towns and places no one thought drilling would ever occur. It has brought a great deal of attention to the technique and associated effects on everything from ground water and air pollution, to biodiversity disruption and earthquakes.
One important fact to weave into your opinion about fracking pro or con is that all of the sub-surface mineral rights in the US are owned by someone (a private individual, a business, or the state or federal government) but surface and mineral rights can be separated, i.e. sold. Originally, mineral rights were sold along with the land and then companies or individuals could decide if they wanted to keep or sell the mineral rights. Before mineral rights were so valuable, many people opted to sell their mineral rights to oil & gas companies. It never occurred to many people that someone would actually be drilling on their property or their neighbors. Oil and gas companies have a legal right to exercise their ownership options and if you are going to say "no" to them, then you owe them for what you are not letting them have, i.e. the money that would be produced if they were allowed to drill. This is not a trivial issue.
Instructions
This week’s discussion focuses on the pros and cons of hydraulic fracking and asks for your SCIENCE informed opinion on whether the economics and political fossil fuel issues justify the negative tradeoffs.
Address each of the following in your discussion:
How is fracking done and why are companies doing this action versus traditional drilling?
Are the environmental issues with fracking worse than conventional drilling? Why or why not?
Why are people along the Front Range and in other states where fracking is widespread, so upset about it now even though fracking has been occurring for a long time?
*In your initial post, please provide 3-4 references in APA format with in-text citations.

OverviewThe United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultan.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
The United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.
Case Assessment
As the world’s population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to enough food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their peoples. Climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earth’s climate changes for the worse. Temperatures are already increasing incrementally, and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?
The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to food. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation. In many developing countries, shortages are due to governments’ control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others. When added to dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.
Instructions
You are to write a minimum of a 5 page persuasive paper for the UN that addresses the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in the developing world:
Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?
In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7° Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and climate science community, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that, among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultura.

Overview
This project will allow you to write a program to get more practice with object-oriented ideas that we explored in the previous project, as well as some practice with more advanced ideas such as inheritance and the use of interfaces.
Ipods and other MP3 players organize a user's music selection into groups known as playlists. These are data structures that provide a collection of songs and an ordering for how those songs will be played. For this assignment you will be writing a set of PlayList classes that could be used for a program that organizes music for a user. These classes will be written to implement a particular PlayList interface so that they can be easily exchange in and out as the program requires. In addition, you will also be using the SimpleTrack class you wrote for the closed lab on Interfaces - if you did not finish this class before the end of lab, you will need to finish it before starting on this project.
Objectives
Practice with programming fundamentals
Review of various Java fundamentals (branching, loops, variables, methods, etc.)
Review of Java File I/O concepts
Practice with Java ArrayList concepts
Practice with object-oriented programming and design
Practice with Java interfaces
Project Description
The SimplePlaylist Class
Once you have coded and tested your SimpleTrack class, you will need to write a SimplePlaylist class that implements the Playist interface given in the project folder.
The SimplePlayList class stores music tracks in order - the first track added to the play list should be the first one removed from the play list. You should recognize this data structure as a
queue
(or a
first-in, first-out queue
). You do not need to implement the equals, hashCode and toString methods for this class but if you choose to do so make sure you document your implementations properly!
The PlayList Management Program
Once you have written and tested a SimpleTrack class and a SimplePlaylist class, it is time to use them to write a program to manage playlists. This program will simulate the playing of songs from a play list. For the SimplePlaylist, the songs are removed from the playlist as they are played, so you know that you're at the end of the list when your list is empty. This program should be implemented in the file MusicPlayerSimulator.java. Note that we are not defining ANY of the methods you are using for this program - the design is all up to you. You must, however, practice good programming style - make sure you are breaking the program up into smaller methods and aren't just trying to solve everything with one monolithic main method. If you have fewer than 5 methods for this program you are probably trying to fit too much into a single method.

OverviewProgress monitoring is a type of formative assessment in.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Progress monitoring is a type of formative assessment in which student learning is evaluated
on a regular basis to provide useful feedback about performance to both students and
teachers. Though there are a number of methods for monitoring a student’s progress, the most
widely used is general outcome measurement, sometimes referred to as curriculum-based
measurement (CBM). Progress monitoring consists of the frequent administration (e.g., once
per month, every two weeks) of brief probes or tests, which include sample items from every
skill taught across the academic year. After each probe is scored, the teacher or student plots
the score on an individual CBM graph. The teacher can then use this data to determine a
student’s:
• Rate of growth — Average growth of a student’s mathematics skills over a period of time
• Performance level — An indication of a student’s current mathematics skills, often
denoted by a score on a test or probe.
You will determine the rate of growth for the two students listed on page 3 using the data provided.

Overview
Imagine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis on how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects
TURKEY
A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal oil and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things like electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels.

OverviewDevelop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care.docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue.
This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Explain the role of the interprofessional team in facilitating improvements for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Explain a position with regard to health outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate an initial viewpoint regarding a specific issue in a target population and a synthesis of existing positions in a logically structured and concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Overall Scenario Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor w.docxjacksnathalie
Overall Scenario
Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor with a central headquarters and main warehouse in Colorado, as well as two regional warehouses in Nevada and Virginia. The company runs Microsoft Windows 2019 on its servers and Microsoft Windows 10 on its workstations. There are 2 database servers, 4 application servers, 2 web servers, and 25 workstation computers in the headquarters offices and main warehouse. The network uses workgroups, and users are created locally on each computer. Employees from the regional warehouses connect to the Colorado network via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Due to a recent security breach, Always Fresh wants to increase the overall security of its network and systems. They have chosen to use a solid multilayered defense to reduce the likelihood that an attacker will successfully compromise the company’s information security. Multiple layers of defense throughout the IT infrastructure makes the process of compromising any protected resource or data more difficult than any single security control. In this way, Always Fresh protects its business by protecting its information.
Scenario 1
Assume you are an entry-level security administrator working for Always Fresh. You have been asked to evaluate the option of adding Active Directory to the company’s network.
Tasks
Create a summary report to management that answers the following questions to satisfy the key points of interest regarding the addition of Active Directory to the network:
1. System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users?
2. How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in Active Directory?
3. What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory?
4. How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].)

OverviewCreate a 15-minute oral presentation (3–4 pages) that .docxjacksnathalie
Overview
Create a 15-minute oral presentation (3–4 pages) that examines the moral and ethical issues related to triaging patients in an emergency room.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Explain the effect of health care policies, legislation, and legal issues on health care delivery and patient outcomes.
. Explain the health care policies that can affect emergency care.
. Recommend evidence-based decision-making strategies nurses can use during triage.
· Competency 3: Apply professional nursing ethical standards and principles to the decision-making process.
. Describe the moral and ethical challenges nurses can face when following hospital policies and protocols.
. Explain how health care disparities impact treatment decisions.
· Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is consistent with expectations of nursing professionals.
. Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
. Correctly format citations and references using APA style.
Context
Working in an emergency room gives rise to ethical dilemmas. Due to time restraints and the patient's cognitive impairment and lack of medical history, complications can and do occur. The nurse has very little time to get detailed patient information. He or she must make a quick assessment and take action based on hospital protocol. The organized chaos of the emergency room presents unique ethical challenge, which is why nurses are required to have knowledge of ethical concepts and principles.
Questions to consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
· How does a triage nurse decide which patient gets seen first?
· How does health disparity affect the triage nurse's decision making?
· What ethical and moral issues does the triage nurse take into account when making a decision?
· What are triage-level designations?

Overall feedbackYou addressed most all of the assignment req.docxjacksnathalie
Overall feedback:
You addressed most all of the assignment requirements. The assignment had several requirements including, but not limited to: an introduction, 3 questions, conclusion, and at least 2 scholarly references to support your claims. You did include an introduction. However, the introduction should briefly identify the key areas/sections to be covered in the paper. This helps the reader navigate through the organization of both your paper and thought process. You did address the question requirements. The assignment required at least 2 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles. Although you included several references, I only saw one scholarly peer reviewed journal article. Moving forward. Be sure to carefully review the instructions before and after you complete your final draft to ensure all requirements have been met. Second, always include an introduction which briefly describes what areas will be covered. Finally, make sure that you include the required number of scholarly peer reviewed journal articles to support your claims. If you have questions, please contact me.
be sure to fully address the question with terminology and concepts from the book to apply to the case. This demonstrates proficiency at the required tasks. For example, question 2 asked:
Question #2: Discuss your plans for developing formal job descriptions for the employees at the second shop
For this question, I was looking for your approach in terms of methods discussed in the text (interviews, observations, questionnaires, etc.) and application to the case study to show application of the concepts/theories.
As far as the scholarly peer reviewed journal articles, this is an essential part of supporting your claims at the graduate level of writing. The assignment required 2 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles. I only saw one? The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that you are supporting your claims with contemporary research within the management/business discipline. Second, this also gives credit to the author's ideas. While I do not point out every error or missing item on your paper, I focus on those areas/content that are required and can be improved. Moving forward, be sure to fully address each question with terminology from the text/material, as well as provide examples to demonstrate the ability to apply the concepts to the case study. I look forward to receiving your next paper. Second, be sure to include the required number of current (within past 5 years) scholarly peer reviewed journal articles to support your paper.

Over the years, the style and practice of leadership within law .docxjacksnathalie
Over the years, the style and practice of leadership within law enforcement agencies has gradually changed. In the past, leadership was primarily relegated to one individual within the department. However, there has been a transformation in leadership theory resulting in a more dynamic, multifaceted nature of teamwork, inclusion, and dispersed leadership. More and more, police chiefs are being encouraged to move toward a more participatory leadership style of management, one that encourages collaboration and cooperation in the decision-making process.
Based on your readings in the text and credible Internet research, respond to the following:

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

When students use drugs or the general substances which are
prone to being abused, they are likely to display a number of
symptoms, it is important for the campus management to
understand the symptoms so that they can be able to develop
proper intervention programs. Some of the symptoms to look
out for include being unconsciousness, mental confusion and
breathing problems .
1-Cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin
*
Lack of informationAvailability of drugsStress due to schools
work and family issues as well as pressurePeer pressure
6. The cases of substance abuse on campus seem to be increasing
every other day. There are a number of possible reasons for
these however, the common amongst these include lack of
information on the side effects and also the mistreatment of
drugs. Others peer pressure are chief causers.
*
The universities do not restrict the use of drugs hence they
increaseLack of deliberate efforts to fight drugs
Since there are boards which control the use of drugs on
campus, it means that the management have to depend on
government formulated policies which are not easy to
implement. Most campus also lack proper regulation on how
students should behave on campus and this gives them some
freedom to experiment.
1- Drugs are becoming more and more available to campuses.
*
There are falling standards of education among campus students
because most are engaging in drugs at the expense of
learningThe cases of addiction are increasing due to unchecked
use of drugsParents are spending a lot of money on making sure
that they fight the trendsThere is increase cased of insecurity
The main effects of substance abuse on campuses is that the
standards of education are following drastically because of the
less time which students are spending outside the classroom.
*
7. The colleges and universities should have psychiatrists within
the campus
Doctors and health practitioners should have basic knowledge
in drug abuse
There should be a functional conduct office on campus
The entire community should be involved in all the activities
that involve fighting for drugs
Academic advisors should also take a lead role in the fight
For the situation to be corrected, the universities should ensure
that they have mentors and other professionals who would help
them to give guidance to the young people. The entire
community should also participate in the fight against this
menace.
*
Being able to help when it is not too late requires that the
problem is diagnosed by checking the following;
Carburetion tubes, masks and devices, smoking masks
Roach clips
Separation gins for cleaning marijuana
Cocaine spoons/vials
Chamber pipes, carburetor pipes, electric pipes, air-driven
pipes, ice pipes or “chillers”
In order to look out for students who are abusing substances , it
is important that management of universities and campuses to
check out some of the paraphernalia which is used for drugs,
having an idea of what is happening when it not too late will
ensure that students are helped on time
8. *
The use of drugs and other substances has had a great impact on
the mental health of many students
A high number of students is reported to have considered
suicide and this are the effects of drugs
Many students have depression and they deal that the only way
out is by taking alcohol.
Due to mental instability which caused by substance use, there
are increased cases of homicides
The use of drugs has been responsible for mental related
problems like stress or even depression. Many campus students
have considered taking their own lives because they reach a
point where they lose all understand of themselves.
*
Interferes with or encourages relaxation
Causes inhibition and reasoning as well as individual judgment
Increases the level of anxiety disorders
Poor processing of information due to state dependent learning
Aggression and violence: often associated with alcohol use
People who are mentally unstable have the tendency to lack
concentration and they are also unable to reason well and make
sound judgment. It is perhaps of the poor processing of
information which has led to poor performance.
*
9. Poor coordination of muscles
Dilation of blood vessels which would cause the dilation of
The irritation of stomach walls
Lack of sexual energy
Stomach upsets
The problem of substance abuse is not just limited to the
interference of mental reasoning. There are also many other
physical problem like poor blood circulation which interferes
with the function of the body system.
*
Many students are socially immature
Low impulse control
Can’t delay gratification—they want computer games, rapid
texting and immediate responses
Mass media
Numb or ignorant to side effects
Lack of proper guidance and poor response from students
The main challenges which campuses face when dealing with
the social issues that are caused by substance abuse is that many
students have lack the capacity to make proper decisions due to
their age of mental maturity. The mass media is also a challenge
because people can now get information of many things .
*
The media has also played a key role because of advertising
using imagesThe family setup is also not doing enough because
10. most families now are single parentThe fact that schools are not
allocated money to fight these menace means that there is
increased apathy
The advertisements which glorify the use of some substances
like tobacco has been a major factor for the students who
become first time smokers because the images of “cool people”
are used to market these substances.
*
The prevailing campus environment should be changed so that
less students can have time to experiment
Create and develop clear policies concerning alcohol use
The students should be encouraged to change their attitudes
Parents should be allowed to participate
Student events should not have substances for abuse
Monitor the progress for students
In order for universities to and campuses to fight this problem,
then the prevailing and current situation should be changed
through the efforts of the government and all other stakeholders
including the community.
*
*While it could be correct to say that campuses lack the
capacity to wipe out the substance abuse threat completely, they
have the ability to reduce the risks which are involved.
*The approach here should be to be prepared, to be alert and to
11. the assertive and firm with decisions.
*
Using drugs is a complicated issueWhether or not to use drugs
is your choice Respect yourself and this will help you make
wise choicesKnow the support resources on campus
*For students, they also need to be advised on the evils of drugs
such that when they are making decisions, they do so from an
informed point of view.
*They should be told where to get help when they need it
*Student have to have a good values on self respect.
*They should Consider the risks and benefits of any decisions
they will make
The government should set serious penalty for those who sell
substances to universitiesThere has to be deliberate efforts to
make policies that would guide universities on issues to do
with drugsThe government should set up support centers in
campuses where students can get free advise
*The government should set serious penalty for those who sell
substances to universities
*The government should provide help in terms of resources so
the campuses can be able to implement some of the programs
for fighting drug use and *menace. The government should also
run support centers for helping students.
*
The community should provide material and moral support to
12. the students in order to avoid taking drugs
The community should be on the look out for potential sellers of
these illegal substances
The medical people should not sell prescription drugs to
students without the doctor’s note
The campus should have intervention programs
The community also has a role to play because this is where
people who sell drugs come from. The concept of community
policing should implemented in the fight of drugs and
substances abuse.
*
Parents should be involved into the campus lives of their
children so that they can be able to tell when there is a
problemIncase parents notice some abnormality with the
children, they should talk to them in a sensitive wayThe entire
family should be involved in the event that a student has started
using the substances
*Parents have a major role to play because the children learn
some values from home. Parents should develop systems which
would help children to grow with *certain values which can
stand even when they join campus.
*They should be involved into the campus lives of their
children so that they can be able to tell when there is a problem
*They should contact the university when they notice any
changes on their kids behave.
*
Students should define their objectives when they start
university.They should follow the objectives and their visions
13. so as to avoid deviating from their objectivesOne should be able
to avoid bad company and peer pressureAlways think of the
reasons why they are in school.
Students are at the center of everything here hence the need to
make sure that they make sound decisions since it is actually
them who would be at the receiving end. They should set their
goals and objectives well so that they do not deviate from them.
*
Substance abuse in rampant in University campuses even though
many universities have notices that negate the same
Lack of knowledge among university staff is also part of the
reason
Lack of proper policies from government is also a big issue.
We can conclude that even though the efforts being made on
fighting substance abuse. the problem is growing bigger and
more efforts and new strategies should be applied to ensure that
problems is dealt with.
Every one have a role to fight Drugs abuse
Student are the big target on this mater for that they have to
protect them self, their friend and their college mate.
*
Help students cope with stress, time and work management
Prevention messages should focus on freshmen and athletics
because they are more vulnerable
Involve students in prevention/education efforts
Train faculty, staff and students to recognize signs and
14. symptoms of substance abuse
If the war on substance abuse is to be won, the efforts should be
targeted to groups which are vulnerable. Prevention programs
should also include students and professional and also proper
ways should be devised to help students deal with stress.
*Prevention messages should be repated and riche all the
student
