Description
Adolescents in the United States are at risk for a range of substance use disorders, including emerging epidemics like marijuana and e-cigarette consumption. Other common health risks among youth include physical inactivity, poor nutrition, inadequate sleep, and uncontrolled stress, all of which can lead to the development of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Not only are there medical consequences, but these common health risks are also associated with substance use and mental health issues. Integrating wellness into substance use prevention has the potential for broader and more cost-effective health policy and programs. The purpose of this session is to explore multiple co-existing adolescent health risks and the benefits of integrating wellness into substance use prevention. Participants will learn about a marketing-related conceptual model for creating integrated content and explore evidence-based health risk programs for youth and young adults.
