Importance of Substance Abuse Prevention

• Substance abuse often begins in adolescence and rises through high

school.

• This can lead to serious problems among adults.

• Intervening during school-age years, even as early as elementary school,

has the potential to prevent substance use and put children on a path

for success in school and as adults.

Predictors of Problem

Behavior

Risk factors can predict:

• Substance abuse

• Delinquency

• Teen pregnancy

• School drop out

• Violence

• Depression and anxiety

Evidence-based prevention

programs can reduce risk

factors and enhance protective

factors, lowering the likelihood

of substance abuse in youth

and adulthood.

The Role for School

Because alcohol use typically begins

during adolescence and because no

other community institution has as

much continuous and intensive contact

with underage youth, schools can be an

important setting for intervention.

Stigler et al., 2011

Effective Prevention

Preventive interventions, particularly universal and selective ones, can significantly reduce the rate of alcohol use in studied underage populations, as well as bolster protective factors among children that reduce risks for alcohol use.

Spoth et al., 2008, 2009
