Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. A new study has found that adolescents who already use alcohol are less receptive to prevention programs aimed at all students. According to University of Minnesota epidemiologist Keryn Pasch, intervening at earlier ages, specifically between third and fifth grade, would provide more support for high-risk students. <clip: “We looked at 6th grade users and non-users of alcohol…may already be missing some of the high-risk kids.”>In the study, involving more than 4,000 students in 61 Chicago schools, Pasch’s team found that 17 percent had used alcohol within the past year. <clip: “Research has shown that the earlier kids start using alcohol…not be using alcohol at such young ages.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
