25 of U.S. Children Are Exposed to Household
Alcohol Abuse
  • More than 28 million Americans are children of
    alcoholics nearly 11 million are under the age
    of 18.
  • This means that 1in 4 children are exposed to
    alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence in the family
    household.

    Drugs)

Alcohol, Tobacco, or Illicit Drugs Appear in
Almost One-Half of Music Videos
  • Alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs appear
    visually in 45 and verbally in 33 of music
    videos, according to a study of videos aired on
    three U.S. music television networks.
  • While references to substances in music
    videos is relatively low compared to movies and
    television the study found that music videos
    portray alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use as
    behaviors people naturally do when they socialize
    and rarely leads to consequences of any kind.

Anheuser-Busch, Inc H20
After Hurricane Katrina, storm victims were left
without many basic necessities, including fresh
water. Anheuser-Busch produced over 2 million
cans of fresh drinking water, packaged in
beer-shaped cans that feature the Anheuser-Busch
name and logo.

Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment Survey
  • The Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment (APNA)
    Survey was
  • administered in fall 2007 to students in grades
    6, 8, 10, and 12.
  • The APNA Survey was designed to measure the
    need for prevention services in the areas of
    substance abuse, delinquency, antisocial
    behavior, and violence.
  • The questions on the survey ask youth about the
    factors that place them at risk for substance use
    and other problem behaviors, along with the
    factors that reduce the probability of their
    engaging in problem behaviors. The survey also
    inquires about the use of alcohol, tobacco and
    other drugs (ATODs) and participation in various
    antisocial behaviors.

School Participation
  • The APNA Survey was coordinated by the Office of
    Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (ADAP),
    Division of Behavioral Health, Arkansas
    Department of Human Services.
  • ADAP contracted International Survey Associates,
    dba Pride Surveys to conduct the survey. A total
    of 208 of the states 245 school districts
    (84.8) participated in the APNA Survey.

15
Student Participation
  • 88,040 students returned completed 2007 APNA
    surveys.
  • 8,442 surveys were removed from the dataset, a
    total of 79,598 students were included in the
    final dataset and available for analysis.
  • 3,785 students reported either being at a grade
    level not in the survey population (i.e., 7th,
    9th or 11th grades) or reported a grade level
    that was not taught at their school (eg, 12th
    grade at an elementary school). A separate total
    of 5,645 students were identified as providing an
    invalid survey by one or more validity checks.

16
APNA Participant Demographics
  • Equal number of males and females took the
    survey in all grades (female 52.1 and males
    47.9). The majority of respondents were White
    (61.3), with the next largest ethnic groups
    being African American (16.5) and Hispanic
    (8.3). Other ethnic groups accounted for 13.9
    of the respondents.

17
Early Initiation
  • Of the youth who reporting cigarettes, the
    average age of first use was 12.1 years.
  • The age of first use of alcohol was 12.6 years,
    and the first regular use of alcohol at 14.1
    years.
  • Of the youth who had used marijuana, the average
    age of first use was 13.6 years.

18
Lifetime Use
  • Lifetime use is seen as a good measure of youth
    experimentation with alcohol, tobacco, and other
    drugs.
  • The most commonly used substances are alcohol
    (45.5 of Arkansas survey participants in the
    2007 APNA Survey have used at least once),
    cigarettes (30.0 have used), smokeless tobacco
    (14.8 have used), marijuana (15.5 have used),
    and inhalants (13.0 have used).

19
30 Day Drug Use
  • When looking at the percentage of youth who
    indicated that they used ATODs in the past 30
    days, an increase in use by grade level can be
    seen with all substances except inhalants. For
    example, only 1.9 of 6th graders had smoked
    cigarettes in the past 30 days, whereas the rate
    for 12th graders was 23.5. However, 30-day
    inhalant use peaked at grade 8 (6.5) and
    declined to 2.3 for grade 12.

20
30 Day Use
  • More Arkansas youth in grades 8, 10, and 12 have
    used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and inhalants
    in the past 30 days than the national sample. For
    cigarettes, 1.0 more Arkansas 8th graders, 1.3
    more 10th graders, and 1.9 more 12th graders
    used. For smokeless tobacco, 2.3 more Arkansas
    8th graders, 3.4 more 10th graders, and 4.2
    more 12th graders used.

21
Sources of Obtaining Alcohol
  • Across all grades, Arkansas youth reported that
    the most common source of alcohol is from someone
    older than 21 years of age. This source becomes
    increasingly used as students progress from the
    6th grade to the 12th grade (1.6, 29.7,
    respectively). The likelihood of alcohol-using
    students obtaining alcohol from someone less than
    21 years of age, buying alcohol with or without a
    fake ID, and obtaining alcohol from a stranger
    also increases with grade level.

22
Places of Using Alcohol
  • Students in the 8th, 10th, and 12th grade
    indicated that they usually drank alcohol at
    someone elses house. Students become more likely
    to drink at someone elses house as they advance
    through the grades (2.3 in the 6th grade, 11.6
    in the 8th grade, 26.6 in the 10th grade, and
    36.9 in the 12th grade). The second most popular
    place where youth usually drank was at their
    homes (4.0 in the 6th grade, 10.6 in the 8th
    grade, 13.2 in the 10th grade, and 11.7 in the
    12th grade).

23
Whats popular and being marketed to young people?
24
Energy Drinks
Red Bull, Venom, Adrenaline Rush, 180, ISO
Sprint, and Whoopass which contain large doses
of caffeine and other legal stimulants like
ephedrine, guarana, and ginseng. Energy drinks
may contain as much as 80 mg of caffeine, the
equivalent of a cup of coffee. Compared to the 37
mg. of caffeine in a Mountain Dew, or the 23 mg.
in a Coca-Cola Classic, that's a big punch.

Alcoholic Energy Drinks

27
Marijuana Greenades
Instructions on the foil told users to chew for
30 minutes to 1 hour "before you would like
receive your high" and to "chew for as long as
possible, then swallow."
28
SKOAL DRY
Each can contains 20 tobacco packs of 100
American-grown tobacco.
A new spit-free, smokeless tobacco pouch product
designed for adult smokers from the smokeless
tobacco experts.
29
Flip Flops with a built-in flask in each heel.
The shoes also come with a little funnel to make
filling the flask easier and a "church key" that
is used to open the flask.  They have been sold
on eBay for around 45.
30
Prescription Drug Abuse
  • Bowls and baggies of random pills often are
    called "trail mix," and collecting pills from the
    family medicine chest is called "pharming."
  • Pharm Party short for pharmaceuticals, such as
    the powerful painkillers Vicodin and OxyContin.
  • In a 2005 survey by the Partnership for a
    Drug-Free America, 19 of U.S. teenagers
    roughly 4.5 million youths reported having
    taken prescription painkillers such as Vicodin or
    OxyContin or stimulants such as Ritalin or
    Adderall to get high.

31
How does youth substance abuse impact their
school academics?
32
Students Academic Performance and Substance Use
  • A clear relationship exists between substance use
    and school performance. Of the students who
    reported getting better grades, fewer have tried
    ATODs and fewer are currently using ATODs than
    those who report poorer grades. For example,
    failing (D or F) students are nearly six times
    more likely to have indicated use of marijuana in
    the past 30 days than students achieving A
    grades.
