Keep working to reduce youth drug use
Ruth Gassman, director of the Indiana Prevention Resource Center at Indiana University, writes in this opinion article that while drug use among Indiana adolescents has dropped sharply in recent years, it is still above the national average in several categories. She says that prevention efforts must remain a priority and uses figures from the center's 2005 survey results to illustrate the need.
