Definition(s)

  • Prevention efforts against substance use have focused primarily on children and adolescents because initial substance use is most likely to occur during adolescence and young adulthood. Primary prevention efforts include planned actions that help adolescents prevent predictable problems, protect existing states of health as well as healthy functioning, and promoting desired goals.
