Substance Abuse & Marketing Towards Teens
Show: Healthy Children
Drug abuse has been an issue that really all generations have had to deal with. And Gen Z is no different.
But what should we tell our teens about using drugs, and what should we mention about our own history with drugs?
Dr. Gary Kirkilas is back to help us discuss drugs with our teens and young adults. He is a pediatrician in Phoenix, Arizona with a unique mobile practice, as well as a spokesperson for the AAP.
He'll tell us all about what age to start talking about drugs, how to approach these conversations, and what the future of legalization means for teenage drug use in this encore episode from February 2021.
