New Findings on Inhalants: Parent and Youth Attitudes
In 1995, an alarming one-quarter (23%) of teens had abused inhalants. After substantial progress in reducing teen inhalant abuse, which fell 22 percent between 1995 and 2001, recent data show that a new generation of children is vulnerable.
Youth who are exposed to inhalants as they enter middle school today were too young to have learned the risks from campaigns in the 1990's. This group is increasingly less aware of the risks of inhalants and more likely to abuse inhalants than students just a few years ago.
