Teen substance use continues to evolve at a rapid pace outpacing many existing prevention approaches. While several national surveys show stabilization or decline in traditional use patterns (such as alcohol and combustible cigarettes), emerging products, changing legal environments, and new online influences have reshaped youth perceptions of harm and have produced a complex landscape that demands updated prevention strategies.
For prevention professionals, staying current is essential for ensuring programs, policies, and messaging reflect the realities teens face today. The products and cultural influences shaping youth substance use look significantly different from those of even five years ago.
Join us for this conversation and discover what today’s teen substance use trends really mean for our communities. We hope to see you there!
