Substance Use Prevention : VFHY
Substance Use Prevention

VFHY recognizes that there are drugs besides tobacco that also pose a serious health hazard to youth. Most of the evidence-based tobacco, nicotine, and vaping prevention or cessation programs that we support either specifically discuss the dangers of these other drugs or offer youth some relevant information about other drugs.

Of the 50 organizations currently delivering tobacco/nicotine prevention or cessation instruction to youth 29 are implementing at least one program that specifically discusses the dangers of other drugs, and an additional 19 are implementing at least one program that offers some relevant information about other drugs.
