Substance Abuse Prevention in Adolescents — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe age-old adage of 'prevention is better than cure' holds true here also. It is also true that habits such as smoking, taking drug or alcohol are more likely to be taken up at a young age, more during adolescence. Hence, it is best to identify the situations that may push an adolescent towards use of drugs or alcohol, and to take remedial measures well in time. In this regard, the parents and the teachers have a special responsibility. Parenting that combines with high levels of nurturance and consistent discipline, has been associated with lowered risk of substance (alcohol/drugs/tobacco) abuse. Some of the measures mentioned here would be particularly useful for prevention and control of alcohol and drugs abuse among adolescents
Arrange the following steps in a logical sequence for effective prevention and control of drug and alcohol abuse, as suggested by NCERT: (A) Seeking professional and medical help for individuals caught in abuse. (B) Education and counselling to face problems and channelise energy into healthy pursuits. (C) Early identification of danger signs by parents and teachers. (D) Avoidance of undue peer pressure and respecting individual choices. (E) Seeking immediate help from parents or trusted friends to vent feelings of anxiety. (F) Providing supportive rehabilitation programs.
