Study Reveals Troubling Trends Among Youth in Santa Cruz PDF Print E-mail
The biennial California Healthy Kids Survey -- which evaluates drug and alcohol use by surveying thousands of students -- has revealed troublesome trends among youth in the Santa Cruz, California, area:

Thirty-six percent of high school freshmen countywide report that they have been 'very drunk' or sick from alcohol, up from 29 percent in 2005. Sixteen percent of seventh-grade students report recent binge drinking, up from 10 percent in 2005. (Source: The Press-Banner)

Marijuana use among Santa Cruz youth has also risen significantly, increasing from 18 percent in 2005 to 26 percent this year among high school freshman. Bill Manov, director of alcohol and drug services for the county’s Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, told The Press-Banner that he believes drug use is up because students don’t perceive the behavior as dangerous or damaging.
