Teen Drinking, Drug Abuse Targeted



It is the goal of Nebraska's Division of Behavioral Health to reduce underage drinking by 6% in the next 5 years. They hope to accomplish their goal by increasing the perception of risk, promoting life choices and strengthening family, school and neighborhood attachments. D-B-H also aims to reduce prescription drug abuse by 2% among high school students and about 1% among adults. The goals are contained in the Division of Behavioral Health's new 5-year Substance Abuse Prevention Statewide Strategic Plan.
