Impact of Drug/Alcohol Prevention Messages!
In 2013, 72.6% of youths aged 12-17 reported having seen or heard drug or alcohol prevention messages from sources outside of school, which was lower than the 83.2% in 2002 and the 75.9% in 2012
The percentage of school-enrolled youths reporting that they had seen or heard prevention messages at school also declined during this period, from 78.8 percent in 2002 to 73.5 percent.
The prevalence of past month illicit drug use in 2013 was lower among youths who reported having such exposure to prevention messages compared with youths who did not have such exposure.
