Summer Episode 3: What we know about adolescents and drug use

Release date: August 5, 2024

This is the third mini summer episode of Talking About Kids. In it, I share some encouraging statistics about kids and substance use. I hope these encouraging facts about kids will help us through the stress and fear-mongering of this political season. Links to some of the research I cite are below. Full-length Talking About Kids episodes return in the Fall.
