Today, the National Institute on Drug Abuse released the 2011 Monitoring the Future survey, which included some troubling new information on the prevalence of synthetic drug use among high school seniors.  The results indicate that one in nine high school seniors had used “Spice” or “K2” over the past year.  That means synthetic marijuana is now the second most frequently used illicit drug, after marijuana, among high school seniors.

The alcohol-impaired fatalities represented 32% of the total driving fatalities in 2009.  That is a 7.4% decrease from 2008 but we still have a long way to go.  The National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) has pulled together a comprehensive list of resources and publications including the Impaired Driving Special Feature.

SAMHSA News | January/February 2011, Volume 19, Number 1

Increasing Outreach, Feedback, and Virtual Communities

Facebook. YouTube. Twitter. Blogs. As a Nation, people of all ages use social media applications every day to update friends, family, and colleagues. We announce personal
milestones, share articles, tell stories, and post photos and events we hope will be of interest. In short, we’re engaged in an ongoing conversation, a virtual community.

Similarly, in response to President Obama’s request for Open Government, SAMHSA has developed a robust “digital engagement” program with established presences on four major social media channels—Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr. In addition, the SAMHSA blog serves as the hub for these behavioral-health-focused efforts.

About the Webinar:

One of the greatest challenges for Prevention Professionals is understanding human motivation. How do we attempt to influence behavior and create the conditions for change? If we want to have an impact on the way people think, feel and act with regard to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs…we must look beyond only our local conditions and instincts.
