Planet Youth Lanark County, the volunteer group bringing the effective Icelandic model of reducing substance use among youth to our area, announced this week that the details of their first student survey are now available for public review.
The detailed survey completed by grade 10 students in February, covered a wide variety of social, family, and school influences as well as personal substance use history.
It revealed that roughly one third of students admitted trying alcohol before the age of 13.
Planet Youth committee chair David Sompii will be with us today, June 17th, on In Focus to discuss the results and next steps.
The survey findings can be found at planetyouthlanark.ca
