Social media can play a key role in educating young people about #addiction because that's where young people spend a vast majority of their time these days. So we might as well put the message where they are, right? #CADAChat
Very much agree! My father uses youtube for EVERYTHING and now podcasts are on the rise! We have endless options to educate #CADAChat xitter.cf/deanokat/status/979459…
A7: I believe social media can be used to teach young people ANYTHING. So the dangers of drugs & alcohol shouldn't be any different. #CADAChat

A7: 10000000% yes!! Social media allows you to share information & create a community. You can have discussion, look up videos, the possibilities are endless #CADAChat

A6: I think a combination of these two approaches is essential for a successful overall prevention strategy. #CADAChat

A6: Individual strategies focus on life and social skills. Environmental strategies focus more on community; things like schools, neighborhoods, media/social media, etc. #CADAChat
