Several studies and reports highlight the importance of parental involvement in drug education for youth: - Parents are the biggest influence on young people's attitudes and behaviors around drugs, more so than any other factor. - Involving parents in drug prevention programs led to parents having more accurate knowledge about drugs, greater confidence in communicating with their children, and feeling better able to positively influence them. - However, recruiting parents to participate in school-based drug education events can be challenging due to barriers like perceptions of drug education, time constraints, and not seeing the value of participation. Addressing these barriers is difficult.

Teenage substance use america's no. 1 health problem
Teenage substance use is threatening the lives of our children. It is high time we stop ignoring the problem as a community, as educators and certainly as parents. As a parent myself I understand the many problems parents face when it comes to their children and the subject of drug abuse.

This document discusses prevention and treatment of drug abuse as it relates to child welfare. It finds that while parental substance abuse is strongly associated with child neglect, other co-occurring risk factors like depression, isolation, homelessness or domestic violence may be more directly responsible for maltreatment. Prevention programs have had mixed results in reducing drug abuse or improving parenting. Effective programs must address all risk factors, not just substance abuse alone. The document also notes that substance abusing parents may not pose greater risks to children than other parents involved in the child welfare system. It suggests allowing parents 12-18 months to make progress in treatment before pursuing permanency plans to place children with relatives or for adoption.
Public Service Announcement
According to a public service announcement, over 22 million Americans are addicted to drugs and the average age for teens to try illegal drugs is 14 1/2. Parents are encouraged to educate themselves on drug prevention at TimetoTalk.org and contact their local D.A.R.E. chapter, as kids who learn about risks are 50% less likely to use drugs and parents play a key role in prevention. The announcement advises parents to watch for signs of abuse, secure prescription drugs, and lead by example through open communication about the dangers of drug use.
Drug and Alcohol Prevention In Schools
This document summarizes the findings of a survey of over 3,500 educators on drug and alcohol prevention education in America's schools. It identifies several key findings, including that the majority of teachers spend less than 5 hours per year on prevention education and feel ill-equipped to teach the subject. The document puts forth two recommendations: 1) that schools should not be the primary provider of prevention education and should work with parents and the community, and 2) that schools should reevaluate spending on ineffective programs and speakers and instead focus on strategies shown to be effective like skills-based training.
Substance Abuse Schoolcraft, Michigan
Substance abuse prevention requires a comprehensive approach that addresses risk and protective factors from early childhood through young adulthood. Schools play a key role in prevention by delivering developmentally appropriate programming to reduce substance use. The Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative integrates substance abuse prevention activities into a collaborative, district-wide approach that builds community commitment and reduces related risk factors. Evaluation found the initiative helped decrease student substance use and increased protective factors.
D.A.R.E. Halton
The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program was developed in 1983 by the Los Angeles Police Department to address growing drug problems among youth. It provides drug and violence prevention education to around 7,000 grade 6 students in Halton Region each year through a 10-week curriculum taught by trained police officers. Surveys show the program is effective, with parents, teachers, and principals largely agreeing it has a positive impact on students. However, funding challenges threaten the program's continued operation.

This document examines the relationship between marijuana use and academic achievement in adolescents. It summarizes several studies that found marijuana use starting before high school increases the chances of not completing high school. Chronic marijuana use can impair short-term memory, verbal skills, and judgment, which can negatively impact school performance. Factors like lack of motivation, deviant behavior, and low self-esteem that precede drug use also influence academics. While marijuana may improve achievement for some by reducing stress, overall its use is associated with fewer years of education and lower-paying jobs later in life due to poorer performance and increased dropout rates. Preventing drug use through family support, extracurricular activities, and education programs can help promote academic success.
FNBE AUGUST'14 ENGLISH ESSAY 1 (Effect of students mature at a younger age)
This document discusses the effects of students maturing at a younger age in Malaysia. It notes that social problems reported to police have increased 231% in recent years, including issues like crime, violence, drug abuse, rape, and baby dumping. Specifically, the document outlines that rape cases have been rising in Malaysia, with the highest numbers in Selangor state. It also discusses that baby dumping occurs because students are afraid to tell their families or are away from home with no supervision. Further, drug abuse among Malaysian students is discussed to be a growing problem, influenced by peers. The document concludes that as citizens, Malaysians must work to educate youth and change behaviors that lead to premature maturation.
Teenage Pregnancy And Social Disvantage
This document summarizes a systematic review that integrated 10 controlled trials and 5 qualitative studies on the topic of teenage pregnancy and social disadvantage. The review aimed to determine the impact of interventions addressing social disadvantage on teenage pregnancy rates and assess the appropriateness of such interventions for young people in the UK.
The meta-analysis of 10 controlled trials found that interventions addressing early childhood development or youth programs were associated with a 39% lower rate of teenage pregnancy compared to control groups. Qualitative analysis of 5 UK studies identified three main themes among young parents: dislike of school, poor life circumstances and unhappy childhoods, and low expectations for the future. Comparing these themes to the types of programs in the controlled trials suggested that both early

This document outlines a student campaign to raise awareness of drug and alcohol abuse among teenagers. It begins with an introduction discussing the pressures teens face and how media often glamorizes substance abuse. It then reviews research showing high rates of teen drug and alcohol use and the importance of prevention programs. The document discusses using agenda setting theory and media literacy to influence teen attitudes through outlets they engage with like social media, TV and radio. It proposes distributing PSAs, posters and humorous video public service announcements in schools to educate teens on the dangers of substance abuse.

Lauren Booker - Alcohol and families
This document discusses the impacts of alcohol use on families in the UK. Some key points:
- Over 10 million UK adults drink above recommended limits, with 1.6 million dependent on alcohol.
- Approximately 1 million children live with dependent drinkers, and alcohol is a factor in 1/3 of divorces and 60% of child protection cases.
- The document examines a case study about the Smith family and how alcohol could impact each member. Additional information is provided that may change thoughts on family impacts.
- The document discusses links between problematic alcohol use and issues like child protection, young people's drinking, health problems, and criminality. It suggests multi-agency support for children and families.
Role of Fathers Part 1
The document discusses several socio-demographic factors that can influence the risk of physical child abuse by fathers. It finds that children living in single-parent households, families in poverty, and those with unemployed fathers are at greater risk. Younger fathers, who may experience economic hardship, depression, and social isolation, as well as those involved in criminal activities, also present higher risks. More research is still needed using larger and more diverse samples of fathers to further understand the paternal factors that shape children's safety and well-being.

Research tells us about the importance of friendships for adolescents. However many adolescent boys struggle to make and keep close friends. The HHS Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) and the federal Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs have developed a new video, “The Crisis of Connection for Adolescent Boys,” which underscores this struggle to connect and provides guidance on how to foster supportive friendships among adolescent boys. This is the first in a new TAG Talks video series created as part of the Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow® (TAG) call to action and is accompanied by discussion guides for professionals and families and additional resources.
Pam lowe empty vessels
This document discusses the rise of parenting culture and its conceptualization of children as empty vessels that can be molded by parental actions. It argues that current parenting discourse views parents as solely responsible for children's development and sees children's behavior as determined by parenting. However, previous research shows that children are active social actors who negotiate their own lives and influence the parent-child relationship. Conceptualizing children only as products of parenting ignores their agency and the complex social factors that shape their development.

The document discusses drug abuse prevention programs and interventions. It describes how successful programs use cognitive behavioral therapy and are tailored to the specific community. Interventions should involve multiple community sectors and aim to decrease risk factors while increasing protective factors. The document reviews several prevention programs and notes there is evidence they can have short-term positive effects, but more data is still needed on long-term health impacts.

1) Teen substance abuse, especially alcohol and marijuana, remains a significant issue according to national surveys that show high percentages of teens reporting use of these substances.
2) A survey of 50 high school students found that 40 reported either past or current use of smoking or drinking, while only 6 students reported never using substances.
3) While the sample size was smaller than national surveys, the results matched national trends and highlight how common it is for teens to experiment with substances.

Alcohol & Marijuana
This document summarizes research on why teens drink alcohol and the effects of alcohol consumption. It finds that teens primarily drink alcohol to have fun or celebrate, but are also influenced by parents, peers and media portrayals. Alcohol advertising spends billions promoting alcohol usage. Underage drinking is common in the US, with the average teen starting at age 13. The document outlines how factors like body size, gender, food and medications can influence alcohol's effects on the brain and body. Excessive drinking can impair judgment and coordination and potentially cause injury or death.

This document discusses several key points about underage drinking:
1) Underage drinking remains prevalent among affluent white teenagers according to surveys.
2) Over 1,700 college students die each year from alcohol-related incidents and many more are injured or victims of assault.
3) Starting alcohol use before age 15 makes one 5 times more likely to have alcohol problems and nearly half of early users become dependent.
4) Spending more time with kids, such as during family dinners, can help reduce underage drinking and substance abuse risks. Parental engagement is one of the most effective ways to influence teens.

It notes that organizations like the Parent Enhancement Program in Oregon seek to cure child abuse and neglect by addressing its underlying causes or symptoms. The document provides statistics on the high rates of child abuse and neglect in the U.S., especially among young children, and discusses the negative long-term health, behavioral, and relationship consequences of experiencing abuse as a child. Risk factors for abuse, like teenage parenthood, premature or difficult infants, lack of parenting knowledge, and negative attitudes towards childrearing are also examined. The document concludes by advocating for educating youth on childcare, development, and stress reduction to help reduce instances of abuse stemming from a

The document discusses the long term effects of growing up with alcoholic parents. It states that approximately 20% of children in the US grow up with alcoholic family members. Some negative effects include an increased risk of substance abuse, attachment and trust issues, anxiety, depression, and witnessing domestic violence. Treatment for adults who grew up with alcoholic parents should address these types of issues and give insight into how to help these individuals. Further research is still needed on effective treatment plans.
SA201 Parental Impact Week 3
Most studies show that between one-third and two-thirds of substantiated child abuse and neglect cases involve parental substance abuse. In Maine, 70% of CAN reports involve parental substance abuse. Children of parents with substance abuse issues are more likely to experience abuse and neglect, placement in foster care, and behavioral and emotional problems. Assessing families for substance abuse includes interviewing parents, using symptom checklists, drawing a family tree, and scales to identify those with substance-dependent family members. Treatment goals should match a parent's stage of change and use motivational interviewing techniques.

The document discusses a study called Tunnel Tail that tested a game-based approach to drug prevention. The study involved students playing the Tunnel Tail game either once or twice separated by 4+ hours and answering pre and post gameplay questions. 86% of students exhibited at least one positive change in responses. The game was seen more as a game than education by most students and was rated as fun, exciting and interesting rather than hard or boring. The conclusions state there is potential for gaming in health education and prevention but more rigorous studies are still needed.

Children of the Substance Abuse Wars
Approximately 12% of children in the United States have one or both parents with substance abuse issues. According to David Sack (2013), more than 28 million American children have one parent who is addicted to alcohol but this addiction is not being discussed at home (Sack, 2013) and of those 11 million are under the age of 18 (Rodriquez, 2004). These children are at a higher risk of developing complex behavioral, academic, and emotional difficulties than other children. Children of addicts are four times more likely to marry an addict and are at risk of becoming a victim of abuse, neglect, or violence. Children of addicted parents are fiercely loyal to the parent. Adolescents are hesitant to open up and are vulnerable. They are reluctant to reveal parental confidences, even if they urgently need the help (Sack, 2013).
Statistics of Children from Parental Substance Abuse Backgrounds
It is important to analyze the severity of the problem before analyzing the effectiveness of counseling as a corrective measure. It is estimated that nearly 8.3 million children under the age of 18 live with at least one substance abusing/ dependent parent. Also, approximately more than half of child maltreatment cases in the United States were because of parental substance abuse in one way or another.
Kirisci et al. (2002) stated that recent research has found that children of substance-addicted parents are more likely to suffer neglect or abuse than those children who do not have an addicted parent. Additionally, comparable to inattentive mothers and fathers, numerous substance-addicted parents were also mistreated and/or neglected as children (Dunn et al., 2001; Connors et al., 2004; Cash & Wilke, 2003), and describe other disturbing incidents as adults and children (Cohen et al., 2008).
Wulczyn, Ernst & Fisher (2011) hypothesize that nearly 61% of infants and 41% of older children in the welfare system stem from families with active parental alcohol abuse issues. Children who enter the system as infants are more likely to spend a longer duration in care. Infants, especially those aged three months or younger, are more apt to be adopted and spend less or no time in group home placement. All children who enter out-of-home care are vulnerable to delays in social, emotional and cognitive development, which increases the risk of school failure, drug and alcohol abuse and criminality. The toxic stress levels that some infants endure links with developmental delays and poor outcomes for children who are the victims of abuse and neglect. Up to 80% of parents who are involved in the child welfare system are substance abusers, and many have had prior involvement with the system, either as chil ...

Introduction
The long-term and life-changing effects of parental substance abuse on their children are well-documented. One of these young people's many dangers is a lack of stable housing. A child who does not live with either biological parent is at far greater risk for adverse health and safety outcomes due to parental substance misuse. Even though research shows that these young individuals are more likely to be homeless, little is known about their real living situations. Illicit drug use by parents has a negative impact on all aspects of their lives, including their ability to care for their children (Lloyd, 2018). Parents who use drugs are more likely to break the law and neglect their children, which can lead to the latter becoming homeless and the former needing the assistance of child welfare agencies.
Background
Drug addiction can devastate a person's physical and mental health. Substance abuse inevitably results in dependence on the abused substance to the point where the user is unable to function normally without it. Alcohol and illegal narcotics are two examples of often abused substances. These chemicals are highly addictive, and their suppliers sometimes have difficulty breaking free of their association with their customers' drug use. Limiting their use is challenging because they're always tempted to partake owing to the substances' euphoric effects (Lipari & Van Horn, 2017). A person's health, among other aspects of their existence, often suffers significantly due to their addiction to such substances. Social and environmental consequences are two more examples. Most drug users would rather be tolerant of their drugs' effects than immune to them. The effects of substance misuse are not confined to the person who uses them; instead, they permeate all aspects of society, including homes, schools, and businesses.
Parents are part of the population known to engage in the intake of illicit drugs, which might be contributed by the challenging economic problems and stressful workplaces. Adults that take illicit drugs and even alcohol might be using it as a remedy to the problems they are experiencing in their workplaces and the financial challenges taking them to be addicted to them and become a serious menace. Some workplaces are becoming a problem for most employees, especially those with families, to provide food to them because of the depression and stress experienced in the workplace. Most of them decide to engage in substance and illicit drug abuse instead of resigning. The problem of illicit drug use moves to their families, where some become violent, and some also become ir ...

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.
The result of this study how that high SES, a linked with high parental educational status and the healthy financial situation is associated with high rates of substance ab ...

The document discusses developing a national communications campaign in the UK to address underage drinking. It outlines research that found parents have more influence over youth drinking behaviors than they realize. The campaign aims to educate parents and encourage earlier conversations about alcohol before youth form drinking patterns. Focus groups identified seven key parent segments to target tailored messaging toward in order to change social norms and parenting behaviors around underage drinking.

Public Safety Issue: Drug Abuse and Addiction
Public safety issue refers to any problem which threatens the wellbeing of people and prosperity of communities. A solution to such challenges is crucial in order to ensure that safety of people is protected and safeguarded. The issue of drug abuse and concern among school going teenagers has become a major problem in United States. According to a survey conducted by Monitoring the Future (MTF), on average, 29 percent of the school kids between grades 8, 10, and 12 were found to be using drugs. This has raised a major concern that requires the government to work closely with relevant public safety organizations in order to contain this issue.
Research Topic: The Importance of Introducing Drug Abuse Unit in The Curriculum of the American Education System
Overview
According to findings of Monitoring the Future survey released in 2018, there is a significant increase in number of school going youths engaging in drug abuse activities. Marijuana, opioid abuse, alcohol, synthetic drugs, tobacco, and nicotine are among the top drugs and substances abused by teenagers and school going kids. These statistics are alarming since they present one of the major challenge to the wellbeing and prosperity of the future generation. Many anti-drug abuse and addiction organizations such as National Institutes on Health (NIH), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have been working relentlessly to curb this rising level of drug abuse and addiction among teenagers. Despite all the efforts by these organizations, their programs have failed to achieve any substantial success as far the fight against drug abuse and addiction among teenagers is concerned. This research is aimed at exploring the relevant literature from books, peer-reviewed journals, publications, and other academic effort in the effort to present the dire need to integrate drug abuse into the curriculum of the American education system. The findings of the research will be a boost to the government and other public safety organizations in the fight against drug abuse and addiction among teenagers and school going youths.

Substance Abuse research projects
The document discusses substance abuse prevention programs for youth. It notes that substance abuse is rising among younger children and teens. Current prevention programs are not addressing this issue, as drugs are affecting children at younger ages. It proposes creating new prevention programs that target younger children, involve the community, and increase education on newer drugs that are affecting youth. A key part of new programs would be evaluating existing programs, gathering input from students and the community, and developing initiatives to build social skills and drug education at younger grades to try to reduce substance abuse among youth.
Teenage Motherhood and the Construction of the New Model Parent
This paper will argue that since the late 1990s, UK policy concerning teenage pregnancy and parenthood has set important precedents in the way in which the family is constructed and related to by the state. The incorporation of teenage parenthood into health promotion and social inclusion frameworks has allowed an apparently de-moralised construction of the teenage mother and her child, but closer inspection reveals that there are new stigmas associated with young parenthood. In particular, the shift to a ‘parenting as skill’ approach assumes that adequate child-rearing requires planning, self-scrutiny, knowledge and utilization of ‘techniques’, and the acceptance of formal support.
Parenting and Medical Cannabis
You will learn how parents, who themselves use medical marijuana, have further considerations as they help their kids understand these concepts. This webinar is co-hosted by Chanda Sinclair of the Portland Department of Substance Abuse Prevention and WCM’s Director of Education Becky DeKeuster. Join us for a lively discussion and a Q & A session, with helpful tips & tools for having honest, age-appropriate discussions with kids from toddlers to teens.
Risk And Protective Factors
Risk factors predict increased likelihood of problem behaviors like drug use and delinquency. These include characteristics of environments like schools, communities, families, and peer groups. Protective factors reduce the influence of risk and likelihood of problem behaviors through bonding, beliefs, standards, and individual characteristics. Research on risk and protective factors informs prevention programs, which address elevated risks and increase protections to promote positive youth development.

Juvenile drug use binder
This document discusses juvenile drug use and proposes alternatives to address the issue. It begins by outlining reasons why teens use drugs such as depression, stress, bullying, peer pressure, boredom, and rebellion. It then discusses the negative impacts of teen drug use including poor school performance, loss of friends, and health issues. Three policy alternatives are proposed: 1) creating recreation centers for teens, 2) drug rehabilitation programs, and 3) after-school programs about the dangers of drugs. The benefits and disadvantages of each alternative are described. The document argues that a recreation center would be the best approach and outlines an action plan to implement this policy, including gathering support from government officials and community organizations.
Adolescent Substance Abuse
1) Adolescent substance abuse is common, with half of high school seniors reporting illicit drug use. Alcohol and marijuana are the most commonly abused substances.
2) Risk factors for adolescent substance abuse include early experimentation with drugs and alcohol, affiliation with deviant peers, poor family and community environments, and personality traits like novelty seeking and low harm avoidance.
3) Protective factors against substance abuse include strong family support systems, cultural values like family obligation, and positive traits like self-strength and aversion to parental substance abuse. Having these social and emotional supports can compensate for risks like substance-abusing parents.

This document provides a series of papers on principles of effective drug education in schools. It discusses creating a whole-school approach, using age-appropriate and evidence-based lessons, the responsibilities of teachers and visitors, implementing prevention strategies school-wide, the importance of life skills training programs, engaging parents, and addressing new drugs like "legal highs". The goal is to give schools and educators guidance on best practices for drug education and prevention.
Novel Psychoactive Substances - ACMD report
Some of the key messages about education and prevention from a report on New Psychoactive Substances (sometimes called 'legal highs').
opiate and crack users
The document provides estimates of the number of opiate and/or crack users between the ages of 15-24 years broken down by region. It also includes prevalence rates per thousand of the population for opiate and/or crack use among 15-24 year olds by region. The data presented gives a breakdown of drug use statistics for young people by geographic area.
Drug Misuse Declared
- The document discusses drug use among young adults aged 16-19 in the UK based on surveys from 2010-2011. It finds that while over 40% have used an illicit drug in their lifetime, lifetime and recent drug use among this group is declining.
- Specifically, the surveys found that most 16-19 year olds think cannabis and cocaine use is never acceptable. However, cocaine use among 16-24 year olds has risen 5.5% since 1996 while other drug use has decreased.
- Around 20% of young people used an illicit drug in the last year and 11% in the last month, continuing downward trends compared to 1996. Mephedrone use was similar to cocaine as the second
Drug Deaths in 2010
The document summarizes drug death statistics from England, Wales, and Scotland in 2010. It finds that there were 2,747 drug poisoning deaths in England in 2010, including 1,784 from drug misuse. Scotland saw 485 drug-related deaths, the third highest on record, while 60 young people under 20 died of drug poisoning in England and Wales, with 35 from misuse. The data comes from several sources tracking drug deaths in each region.
Drinking 2010
1) Drinking rates among young people in England have declined, with 13% drinking in the last week compared to 26% in 2001, though 1 in 5 drink weekly by age 15.
2) Parents and friends are the main sources of alcohol for young people, while parties have become more common venues for drinking.
3) While most young people see their parents as disapproving of underage drinking, nearly a quarter think it's okay to get drunk weekly by age 15.
Drug use by young people in England in 2010
The survey questioned 7,296 pupils aged 11 to 15 from 246 schools in England about their drug use. Only 0.2% of pupils reported taking the fictional drug "Semeron", supporting the view that most pupils do not exaggerate drug use in surveys. The results also showed rates of cannabis and Class A drug use in the last year, drugs used by age, frequency of drug use, effects of truancy on Class A drug use, being offered drugs, sources of drug education, and receiving drug education that year.
ASB and Possession stats 2011
Drug offences for trafficking and possession have declined over the period from 2004/05 to 2010/11. The number of drug offences recorded by police in England and Wales fell by 21% between 2004/05 and 2010/11. Cautions and convictions for drug offences also decreased substantially over this period.
EU Youth’s Attitudes to Drugs
A survey of over 12,000 15-24 year olds across the EU found that three quarters had never used cannabis, though 57% thought it was easy to obtain within 24 hours. 5% had used new psychoactive substances, mostly gotten from friends. Youth cited the internet and peers as top information sources on drugs. Over 90% saw regular cocaine or ecstasy use as highly risky to health. Over half thought cannabis and alcohol regular use also very risky. Over 90% wanted heroin, cocaine and ecstasy to remain banned.
Drug Education and Early Intervention in Nottingham City Schools
The document discusses a drug education and early intervention program called DrugAware in Nottingham City Schools. The goals of the program are to educate young people about drugs and alcohol, provide support and early intervention, and reduce drug use and exclusions. Key aspects of the DrugAware model include a drug education curriculum, policy development support, parent/community engagement, and partnerships to allow for early intervention. Schools that implemented the program saw improvements in students' resilience, knowledge, and attitudes towards drugs, as well as decreases in permanent exclusions related to drugs.

Effective visitors
This document outlines principles for schools and external visitors to follow when delivering drug education programs in partnership. It recommends that visitors be aware of effective drug education strategies, avoid inappropriate content, and reflect on sessions. Schools should negotiate content with visitors, ensure visitors understand school policies, and brief visitors on any student sensitivities. Teachers should be present during sessions, assess learning, and follow up on any issues. The goal is to have a positive experience that links to the school's broader drug education curriculum.
Prevention and reduction - schools
This document summarizes strategies that schools can use to prevent youth crime and antisocial behavior based on international evidence. Effective prevention interventions for individuals work with smaller groups, are delivered by program originators, and use cognitive behavioral techniques for higher risk youth aged 12 or more. Schools can create an environment for prevention through reorganizing grades/classes, altering classroom management, improving school discipline policies, and teaching social skills using cognitive behavioral methods. Interventions that do not work and should be avoided include those focused on coercion/control, boot camps, unstructured counseling or training, and programs that group high-risk students without structure.
PSHE Review
The government have promised an internal review of Personal, Social, Health and Economic education.
This briefing paper looks at their public statements on the review and sets out some of the things the Drug Education Forum would like to see emerge from the review.
Principles of Good Drug Education
The document outlines principles of good drug education based on best practices from several countries. It discusses the importance of having an environment that is responsive to cultural views and evidence-based, a curriculum that is relevant to students' developmental stages and managed given resources, and content that explores attitudes and develops social skills using credible sources. The document also stresses the need for evaluation of programs through assessment, monitoring, and impact evaluation.

This document from the World Health Organization contains data on alcohol consumption and abstention rates across various European countries. It shows the proportion of former and lifetime abstainers from alcohol by country in Europe. It also includes data on average recorded adult alcohol consumption per capita in liters by country for Europe as well as the UK specifically from 1961-2006. Additionally, it presents age-standardized death rates related to alcohol for those aged 15+ in the UK.
Presentation to Richmond upon Thames Drug Misuse Task Group
The document discusses drug, alcohol, and substance abuse among young people in London and the UK. It notes that drug use results in high costs to the London Ambulance Service and police. While most schools provide drug education once a year or less, proven programs like Life Skills Training that are implemented in US schools have been shown to reduce substance abuse and have a cost benefit ratio of $25 saved for every $1 invested. The document calls for increased funding for early intervention and prevention programs in schools to address substance abuse among youth.
Early Intervention
The document discusses early intervention strategies for children aged 0-18 and makes several recommendations. It recommends that 19 top early intervention programs be expanded, 15 Early Intervention Places be established locally to spearhead development, and an independent Early Intervention Foundation be created to support local efforts and expansion of effective programs. The foundation would maintain a database of cost-effective local programs and encourage new investment in early intervention.
Local authority spending on young people’s substance misuse
Local authorities spent money from 2008 to 2011 on substance misuse services for children and young people. However, the data shown only reflects local authority funding and may not include all spending from other sources like primary care trusts. While not a complete picture, the data provides an important benchmark to understand how local authorities have supported substance misuse services for young people over time.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
