Drug Abuse Prevention Program Curbs Sexual Behavoir in Teens

A few months ago the Journal of Adolescent Health published some interesting findings from a study recently provided by RAND, a nonprofit organization used for research, analysis and decision making. RAND stated compelling evidence that school-based drug education programs can have more then just a positive impact on substance abuse prevention. "The lessons these young people learned about how to avoid drug and alcohol abuse appears to have had a positive impact on their sexual behavior as well," said Phyllis Ellickson, a researcher for RAND. To read more about this study, click here. Similarly the Natural High DVDs also attempt to encourage students not just to stay away from drugs, but also to make healthy decisions in all aspects of their lives. Be it school work, friendships, or relationships, the Natural High stars explain how making the right choices in each of these areas contributed to their overall decision to live clean and pursue a natural high.
