MAINE ANTI-DRUG EDUCATION ANALYZED BY YOUTHS
The Maine Legislative Youth Advisory Council, the first group of its kind in the nation, will recommend today that the state of Maine take several steps to improve substance abuse education in Maine.
The proposals, part of the group's first annual report to the Legislature, include revamping the state's annual survey of teen drug use and replacing DARE, the widely used Drug Abuse Resistance Education program in Maine.
The report will also urge Maine lawmakers to routinely seek the advice of young people when addressing issues related to teens, drugs and alcohol. The suggestions come as Maine officials are stepping up efforts to combat underage drinking and reduce fatalities involving young drivers in the state of Maine.
