Good news is that teen substance abuse is at an all-time low - fewer teens are drinking, vaping, or using drugs than in years past. But there are still new trends emerging. What was true when today's adults were growing up has changed tremendously with stronger products, changing laws, new technology, and the role social media plays in how youth view and access substances. That's why it is more important than ever for parents to stay informed and foster open communication with their kids to help them make safer, healthier choices.
Our prevention partners at the Partnership to End Addiction have compiled an informative video, as well as a comprehensive article, that breaks down the latest facts on current substance use trends every parent needs to know to have meaningful conversations with their children - covering everything from evolving vaping devices and nicotine pouches to alcohol trends, fentanyl, and the changing marijuana landscape.
We want to be sure to share this important resource with those in our community. Starting next week on the IAA Blog, we will feature the Top 7 Teen Substance Use Trends Parents Need to Know in 2025 and highlight a different trend each day to help you stay informed.
