Via the Jamestown Sun in North Dakota:
New inhalant abuse data from North Dakota shows that
inhalants are the third most commonly abused substances by middle school
students in the state. According to findings
of the 201 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 7.4 percent of middle school students and
11.6 percent of high school students in North Dakota report abusing inhalants.
To combat the issue the North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Division of
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services have created an educational inhalant abuse prevention toolkit for community leaders, parents, school officials and
other professionals.The electronic copy of the kit is linked here but for a hard copy of the kit contact the department’s Prevention Resource
and Media Center at 701-328-8918, toll-free at 800-642-6744 or by ND Relay TTY
800-366-6888.
