From The Pacific Daily News in Guam:
The 4th Annual PEACE Conference was recently held as part of Suicide Awareness, Intervention and Prevention Month. At the conference, local leaders and coalition members discussed substance abuse prevention.
One the speakers (Annette David, a doctor with Health Partners LLC) presented the results of the “2007 Substance Abuse Epidemiological Profile, which was compiled by the State Epidemiological Workgroup under the Governor's PEACE Project.”
From the report, an alarming statistic: “inhalant and marijuana use among youth is higher in Guam than in the United States.”
