Teens prefer harm reduction messaging on substance use

(University of British Columbia) For many parents, talking to their children about substance use is like navigating a field of landmines. It's difficult to know exactly what to say and how to say it. But a new study from the University of British Columbia is showing the way forward. Researchers found that a harm reduction message resonated the most with teens, instead of the typical "don't do drugs" talk.
