The document summarizes research on influences related to substance use and recovery among students. It finds that common reasons for past use among students included getting high, dealing with stress, and having important friends who used. The most influential reasons for not using included support groups, effects on family/friends, and having a higher power or sponsor. Students in recovery said schools could help by providing support from other students in recovery, drug-free activities, and being accountable if drug use is noticed.
The Case for Prevention of Problem GamblingJulie Hynes
This document discusses the case for preventing problem gambling, especially among youth. It argues that problem gambling is connected to other problem behaviors like substance abuse and should be addressed through comprehensive prevention efforts. Risk factors for problem gambling are similar to other issues and include early exposure, trauma, and family and peer influences. Prevention requires reducing risks and enhancing protective factors across individual, family, school and community domains. The speaker urges integrating gambling prevention into existing evidence-based programs and increasing community awareness and involvement to address this issue.

The Ottawa County Youth Assessment Surveys monitor the prevalence of youth health risk behaviors. The purposes are to monitor trends and to provide information so local agencies and schools can focus programs and policies to reduce behaviors that contribute most to the leading causes of mortality and morbidity.
Circles of San Antonio Community Coalition Staff conducted a presentation for the Prevention Resource Center, Region 8 on why Alcohol is the # 1 drug of concern in San Antonio and Texas.
The survey responses reveal that LGBT youth often feel profoundly disconnected from their communities. They are more likely than their non-LGBT peers to experience verbal harassment, feel they do not fit in, and believe they must leave their community to achieve their goals and dreams. Specifically, LGBT youth are twice as likely to say they will need to move away to feel accepted. They also report lower levels of optimism that they can be happy or achieve life goals if they remain in the same city or town as where they currently live. However, LGBT youth also demonstrate resilience, as most believe things will get better in the future.
This document summarizes research on the mental health and well-being of youth from privileged suburban backgrounds. Several key findings are presented:
1. Studies found higher than normal rates of depression, anxiety, substance use, and other problems among suburban teenagers compared to national norms.
2. Factors found to contribute to these issues included high achievement pressure from parents, lack of relaxed family time, and isolation from adults after school.
3. Similar patterns of distress were found in studies of private school students and youth from other regions, suggesting it is not just a suburban or regional phenomenon.
4. Research on mothers from privileged backgrounds found higher than normal rates of depression, anxiety, and lack of authenticity,
What is the YAS?
• A locally developed teen survey since 2005.
• Conducted every two years at grades 8, 10 and 12 in participating Ottawa County schools.
• Monitors how behaviors increase, decrease or stay the same over time.
• Measures how many teens are engaged in a variety of risky and beneficial behaviors
affecting their health and well-being.
• Shows the ages when teens may engage in risky behaviors for the first time.
• Indicates what issue areas affect males and females differently.
• Provides evidence-based information about what the biggest needs are (and aren’t)
among Ottawa County teens.

CHSC 431: Community Assessment
This Spring the students of CHSC 431: Community Assessment, a graduate-level core UIC School of Public Health class engaged in a collaborative learning experience with students and faculty at Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School to conduct a community health assessment of Humboldt Park. The UIC SPH class of nearly 40 students broke into six groups of students to assess separate health areas identified by PACHS as important - gentrification/sense of belonging; issues of LGBTQ youth, physical activity, nutrition, young women's sexual/reproductive health, and health literacy/diabetes. Each group engaged in a mixed method
assessment modeling the assessment component of the Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) process typically carried out by local health departments. Each group had at least two members engaged in an ongoing community learning experience so as to better discern community perspectives with respect to their health topic. The learning experience ranged from to engaging/facilitating small group learning to facilitating a schoolwide survey to volunteer coaching of a youth sports club. Existing quantitative data on population demographics, health status and health behavior were analyzed in light of qualitative data from key informant interviews, participant observation or focus groups (debriefing groups) gathered from community engaged learning experience characterizing/contextualizing the health topic. Preliminary findings were discussed at Humboldt Park Library 4/21 and 4/28.

EVERFI webinar: Why We Need a Paradigm Shift in the College Student Drinking ...Michele Collu
The document calls for a paradigm shift in how colleges approach student drinking. It summarizes research showing that delaying alcohol use leads to better long-term outcomes. However, the current narrative assumes drinking is inevitable and promotes "responsible" drinking. This sends mixed messages and has not reduced high-risk drinking. The document advocates a new narrative that directly encourages students to delay drinking based on research. It also suggests supporting non-drinkers and their choices through alcohol-free events and connecting them with like-minded peers.
The document provides information about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) including:
1) It summarizes the objectives of raising awareness about ACE research and prevention frameworks like Essentials for Childhood.
2) It describes the original ACE study which found associations between childhood trauma and later health outcomes, and notes that 64% of participants experienced at least one ACE.
3) It shows that higher ACE scores correlate with increased risks of health problems like smoking, alcoholism, suicide attempts, and teen pregnancy.
4) Data from the Kansas BRFSS survey found rates of ACEs in Kansas similar to national data, with certain groups like women and low-income residents
This document provides information about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). It begins with the objectives of raising awareness about ACE research and prevention frameworks. It then defines ACEs as childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction that harm development. The landmark ACE Study found associations between early life stressors and negative health outcomes later in life. It also summarizes findings that higher ACE scores correlate with increased risks of health problems, demonstrating the lifelong impacts of ACEs. The document concludes by discussing prevention approaches like building resilience and utilizing collective impact frameworks.
