jump in. However, as someone working in mental health, a school trustee and the
mother of three (two teenagers), I feel I must comment. My 15 year old has
struggled with the drug issue and I am very struck by the fact that it really
doesn’t matter what substance it is (as already noted) but rather that
she and her peers believe that it’s normal and “no big deal”
to consume substances to bring relief/pleasure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

self-medicate all the time and the use of prescription drugs as a means to
improving life is accepted. I would be interested in giving children and youth
an understanding of the power they have over their feelings and their bodies

that help give relief/pleasure such as yoga, meditation, exercise, support
networks, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

below. There are numerous books, brochures and references regarding
substance abuse and ways adults can prevent and intervene. I believe that
addressing the problem of substance abuse by using the asset model would be
most effective way to go. It would also help those community members who
feel that the asset model is just another one of those “Warm and
Fuzzy” kinds of things, to see the it as a credible solution to big
problems in the community such as substance abuse.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I had originally just replied privately to
the request, but now wish to chime in on the list. There are good reasons
for including references to specific drugs. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>While parents often worry most about illicit drug use,
alcohol is by far the most popular drug of choice for youth. And it causes a
lot of problems. While tobacco use does not create the kinds of acute
problems (highway fatalities, violence, overdoses) that other substances may
cause, ultimately tobacco use leads to more health problems and deaths than
other forms of drug use, and it seems that if a person does not start smoking
prior to age 18 they are unlikely to begin. So I would advise including
these in the book. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If specific drugs are to be covered then the fastest growing
type of drug abuse among youth- prescription drug abuse deserves mention.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>But in many ways it is not productive to focus on particular
kinds of drugs. True, some measures, such as compliance checks on alcohol
retailers, are better suited to specific drugs. However, the same
underlying risk and protective factors seem to be associated with all drug use
among youth. (tobacco is a little different, in that I have not seen much
research on the association between tobacco use and family or neighborhood
disruption, or school failure. But it may be there.)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve always felt that the best substance abuse
prevention may well be efforts that do not even mention drugs. Creating
healthy classroom climates, positive social attachments, etc lead to many
healthy outcomes, including reduced substance use and abuse. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I envisioned this not as another tool to help parents cope with
recognizing drug use among their own children. The NCADI clearinghouse,
and many other resources exist for that purpose. I presumed the book
would be aimed two audiences. One would be people like those on this
list. That is, people who are trying to promote healthy youth and healthy
communities by creating conditions in which these things can be achieved.
The other would be decision makers and informed members of the community who
might be concerned about substance abuse, but not be sure what to do about
it. For that purpose, for me, the book would focus on harnessing the
principles of asset development to address the specific problem of drug
abuse. It would be a way to convey the message that asset development is
not just something that is “nice to have” but something which can
help communities solve some very real problems they are concerned about. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

substances—alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. I would also include
info on the others, especially on huffing. Lots of parents could use the info
and even though the others are less common, you never know who might be seeking
info and whose life it could impact. There definitely are other resources
available for parents related to identifying drug use in their children, but
Search could have its own unique audience and angle by approaching it from an
Assets perspective. I think that could be very useful for parents who
sometimes, out of fear, take actions which are more punitive than
boundary-setting, values- and relationship-based, and Asset-building!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Hello all!<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
What we'd like to know is: <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>If we did a book on youth and substance
abuse, what "substances" do you think we should include?</span></b><br>
<br>
Alcohol and tobacco?<br>
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs?<br>
"Other drugs" by themselves?<br>
<br>
<br>
And are there any drugs in particular you think we should focus on? (Marijuana?
Meth?)<br>
<br>
You can send your answers directly to me at <a
href="mailto:kateb@search-institute.org" target="_blank">kateb@search-institute.org</a><br>
<br>
Thanks so much for your help!<br>
