substance abuse
Among youth, the use of alcohol and other
drugs has been linked to unintentional injuries,
physical fights, an increase in teen pregnancy,
academic and occupational problems, and illegal
behavior. Long-term alcohol misuse is associated
with liver disease, cancer, cardiovascular
disease and neurological damage, as well as
psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety
and antisocial personality disorder.
