According to the latest Monitoring the Future survey, 2021 saw the largest one-year decrease in adolescent drug use since the survey began in 1975. This includes declines in alcohol, marijuana, and vaped nicotine use among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders.📉👏👏 Dr. Rahul Gupta, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, emphasized, “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to using data and evidence to guide our prevention efforts. It is important to identify all the factors that may have led to this decrease in substance use to better inform prevention strategies moving forward. The Administration is investing historic levels of funding for evidence-based prevention programs because delaying substance use until after adolescence significantly reduces the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder.” Want to explore the data further?

Underage drinking is no joke and can lead to many accidents, injuries, and health risks. This information is for all of our teens and their parents out there - summer brings late nights, parties, and weekend trips with friends. So, please take a moment to read over some of these statistics and then pause to have the important conversations about setting clear boundaries and expectations. ⚠️1 in 5 teens has ridden in a car with a driver who had been drinking. ⚠️Teens are 17x more likely to perish in a car accident when their blood alcohol content is over the legal limit. ⚠️1 in 5 teens involved in a fatal car accident has alcohol in their system. Communicate, understand, and respect the rules around drinking and other risky behaviors. It could save your life. Stay safe! 💬❤️ #factsaboutdrinking #underagedrinking #safesummer #teentipsforsummer #makegoodchoices
