Prevention
Implementing an effective drug prevention program in schools requires a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that combines education, early intervention, community involvement, and strong school policies.
Random Drug Detection
Implementing random drug testing (RDT) in schools can be an effective tool for promoting a drug-free environment, protecting students' health, and preventing substance abuse.
Drug Substances in Schools

Alcohol: Despite a decline in recent years, alcohol remains prevalent. In 2022, 15.2% of 8th graders, 31.3% of 10th graders, and 51.9% of 12th graders reported alcohol use in the past year.
