Inhalant Abuse in Massachusetts

From the Worcester Telegram in Massachusetts:

On January 14th, the West Boylston School Committee heard the results of a risky behavior survey that was completed by students at the middle and high schools last February.

Findings noted that “up to 30% of middle schoolers reported use of inhalants. The district’s health and wellness teacher remarked, “Inhalant use is most common by seventh- and eighth-grade Caucasian males in upper middle-class communities.”
