Youth drug and alcohol use and misuse can have serious consequences. The impacts of substance use are experienced by the entire family and community. Adolescent substance use can contribute to numerous negative health, social, and behavioral outcomes that can be experienced immediately and over the lifetime. These can include disruptions in physical and mental health, legal consequences, adjustment problems in school or the workplace, and violent or aggressive behavior. It is imperative that providers, community partners, and family members are informed about drug and alcohol trends, the effects of substance use on youth, and appropriate prevention strategies, interventions, tools and resources.
