Prevention efforts slow Kansas youth drug use rise
A Kansas study by Drug Strategies finds prevention and education programs reducing rates of drinking and drug use among youths, with declines in some areas. Yet inhalant use among 6th to 8th graders rose, with 16 percent of 6th graders and 21 percent of 8th graders trying inhalants in 1998, surpassing marijuana in some cases. Rosalind Brannigan attributes progress to innovative prevention, while noting ongoing work.
