  • Develop a plan that incorporates various cessation and prevention strategies.
    • Find your own research on programs that are geared toward youth.
    • Discuss efficacy rates and factors that may improve them.
  • Assess the ethical and legal factors associated with working with youth who have substance-use issues. Utilize your own state laws in your discussion (for example, disclosure to parent or guardian).
  • Provide validation and support for assertions by including relevant examples and supporting evidence.
