Fewer Adolescents Getting Substance Abuse Prevention Messaging
This report from SAMHSA found that the rate of adolescents receiving substance abuse prevention messages in the media and at school decreased from 2002 to 2011, and that only about 40% of adolescents spoke with their parents in the last year about the dangers of substance abuse. A companion report reflects a significant shift in adolescents’ use of, and attitudes towards, alcohol and marijuana from 2002 to 2011.
