HCHY List: Search Institute Press is looking for your opinion--a book on Substance Abuse

[gtbtmolly at aol.com]

I like the idea of identifying particular drugs, since communities 
often have a specific drug problem (ours in North Georgia is meth)- but 
obviously it's all related.  And I think that alternative activities or 
stress-relieving activities should be included: yoga, meditation, 
hiking, along with how these activities can help reduce drug use.
Kids need to be comfortable and confident in their own ability to make 
their own decisions about drug use, and not be swayed by peer pressure 
- a huge problem for teens. So this issue bears inclusion as well.

Hello all!

Search Institute Press recently put out a customer survey, and in it we 
asked people what kinds of topics they'd like us to publish about. We 
received a lot of comments recommending that we publish a practical 
guide to help teachers, youth leaders, and caring adults identify and 
deal with youth and substance abuse, which we think is a great idea.

What we'd like to know is:

If we did a book on youth and substance abuse, what "substances" do you 
think we should include?

Alcohol and tobacco?
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs?
"Other drugs" by themselves?


And are there any drugs in particular you think we should focus on? 
(Marijuana? Meth?)

You can send your answers directly to me at kateb at search-institute.org

Thanks so much for your help!
Kate
