The purpose of this survey is to give a comprehensive picture of drug use among secondary school children aged 11-15 and to monitor smoking and drinking in this age group. The results are based on information collected from more than 9,000 children in 340 schools in England. The report covers topics such as children's first experiences of drugs, attitudes towards drugs and drug users, and children's smoking and drinking habits. The survey shows that more than one in ten children have used drugs in the last year with cannabis use the most widespread. This is only the second in this series of surveys in which questions about drug use had been included so opportunities for comparison are limited, but the general picture show small increases in use among both boys and girls, particularly those aged 14 and 15. Drug use is shown to be significantly lower among pupils in schools in deprived areas than among those from non-deprived areas - 10 per cent as opposed to 13 per cent.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People with Physical and Cognitive Disabilities (Revised)
<b>NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT- OVERSTOCK SALE - Significantly reduced list price </b> <p/> This TIP, <i>Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People With Physical and Cognitive Disabilities</i>, is intended to enhance treatment providers' knowledge concerning people who have a physical or cognitive disability in addition to their substance use disorder. Treatment programs for substance use disorders already see many individuals with coexisting disabilities, but many providers fail to accommodate these individuals either because they are unaware of the disability or how accommodations can improve treatment outcomes (even though such accommodations are legally mandated). The first chapter defines and explains the issues involved in treating people with coexisting disabilities. Chapter 2 discusses how to screen for coexisting disabilities and how to adapt substance use disorder screenings for clients who have a disability. Chapter 3 discusses treatment planning and counseling&#x3b; it also describes how treatment can be modified to meet the particular needs of people with coexisting disabilities. Forming linkages with other service providers is the topic of Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 presents material for program administrators. In Appendix B, there is a comprehensive list of resources. Appendix C discusses the proper language to use when referring to people with disabilities. <i>Alcohol and Drug Programs and the Americans With Disabilities Act</i>, a pamphlet from the Pacific Research and Training Alliance, is reproduced in Appendix D.
