Multiple Health Behavior Programs Decrease Substance Use in Youth

Multiple Health Behavior Programs Decrease Substance Use in Youth

A new study published in Substance Use & Misuse reviewed research evaluating physical activity-based interventions that targeted substance use in adolescence. 

Results indicated that physical activity interventions may decrease substance use in teens.  

Decreased substance use was also associated with one-time multi-health consultations. 

The authors concluded that school-based interventions targeting multiple health behaviors may offer a particularly effective and efficient way to decrease substance use in adolescents.
