'13+Alcohol+Awareness

Results of the Student Drug Use Survey Report Throughout this semester, we have given 10 classroom presentations to Grade 11 and 12 classes. Based on the statistics from the Student Drug Use survey report completed by students in the Fredericton area, we thought it would be important to address the subject of alcohol, as it was the most widely used substance, right after caffeine.

While the base of our presentation was on safety precautions and alcohol awareness, we also were given the opportunity to give presentations to the Grade 12 parenting class, and incorporated a section on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Using a secondary preventative approach, we gave a general presentation on the realities of alcohol use. We discussed ways teen drinking can be unsafe, the symptoms of alcohol poisoning, ways to remedy the situation and what happens when someone is brought to the ER due to alcohol poisoning.
