Alcohol, Drugs, & Substance Use
Research from the Washington State Department of Health shows that teen alcohol use is at an all-time low and the percentage of teens reporting cigarette use is half of what it was a decade ago. On the other hand, vaping rates have increased significantly and many people are uninformed about the health risks. - WA STATE HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY 2018
