Impacts of Implementation of Educational Programs on Substance Abuse in Youths
Introduction
The purpose of this project is to identify whether implementing substance abuse
educational programs can help reduce substance abuse among youths aged 14-22 within one
year. An increase in substance abuse and alcohol use among the youth is a global health concern.
This increase is associated with the risk of substance abuse disorders in youths and further public
health problems to their families and society (Carter, 2015). Among the youths aged 14-22, there
is a risk of poor academic performance, dropping out of school, or even taking longer to
complete their studies. The PICOT question for the project seeks to identify the prevalence and
patterns of substance use and alcohol use among the youths. After identifying the situation of the
problem, it will determine if introducing educational programs on substance abuse can be an
effective intervention to reduce these patterns among youths compared to when there are no such
programs. Implementation of the project will take one year to establish if the program leads to
positive outcomes. Therefore, the proposed project will help inform policymakers in the
education and health care systems concerning the importance of implementing educational
programs on substance abuse to help reduce alcohol use and substance abuse among the youths.
Problem Statement

for substance abuse and alcohol use, among other related adverse consequences. The incidence
of substance abuse among the youth is alarming, rendering it a significant public health concern.

This problem harms not only the users but also their families and society. Various predisposing
factors for substance abuse among the youths include gender, age, family relations and structure,
poverty, and drugs affordability and accessibility (Somani & Meghani, 2016). Substance abuse
encompasses misuse of illicit drugs or regular use of those drugs. The most abused drugs include
charas, hashish, marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, heroin, and psychotropic drugs. However, alcohol,
marijuana, and heroin are among the commonly used globally (Somani & Meghani, 2016). In
particular, substance abuse is incapacitating for young people, and WHO identifies
