BY THE STATS
- Substance use during childhood is particularly dangerous because of the dangers of substances, including nicotine, cannabis, and alcohol, can interfere with healthy brain development (Winters, K. C., & Arria, A., Prevention Research, Vol. 18, No. 2, 2011).
- Kids who avoid regular substance use are more likely to succeed in school and to avoid problems with the juvenile justice system (Public policy statement on prevention, American Society of Addiction Medicine, 2023).
- In 2023, seven out of every ten counterfeit opioid pills were found by the Drug Enforcement Administration to contain a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl.
