Description of Lecture
A study conducted with the support of the Savannah-Chatham County Board of Public Education and Private School Council revealed alarming youth behavior statistics that mirror national data. Ninth grade students admitted that they participate in behaviors that place themselves and others at significant health risk. Students reported that they don’t wear seat-belts or bicycle helmets, and they participate in violent acts, unprotected sex, smoke, drink alcohol, and use drugs. Based on these findings, it is recommended that strategies and programs which address safety, violence, the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, and sexuality be enhanced.
