His death at the hand of drug traffickers became a rallying cry for the nation with the selection of the Red Ribbon as a symbol to eliminate the demand for drugs. Today Ribbon Campaign Month replaces the former Red Ribbon week. The color purple, symbolic of violence prevention, has been added to the ribbon, and the week has turned into a month-lon- g focus on healthy, safe, drug-fre- e lifestyles in our community. Recent surveys show Utah staying below the national averages in most areas of substance abuse. But state officials are concerned that trends show an increase in cigarette use for Utah students in grade from 9.6 percent in 1984 to 14.9 percent in 1997. Marijuana use of Utah secondary students had dropped dramatically in 1989, but rose to 9.8 percent in 1997, near the 11.8 percent reported in 1984. Angela T. Smart, Research Consultant for the State of 7-- Utah Department of Human Services Division of Substance Abuse, says there is a common stigma that substance abuse is not a disease, but perhaps a character flaw that is inherent in certain individuals. The Division of Substance Abuse is making every effort to dispel this myth," she emphasized. Data reinforces the need for education and prevention programs. Research has shown that there are a number of risk factors that increase the chances of adolescent problem behavior, including delinquency and sub- stance abuse. Understanding these risk factors is the first step toward identifying effective means of prevention. Risk factors vary widely and include availability of illegal substances in a community, extreme economic deprivation, family histories of high risk behavior, family conflict, academic failure beginning in elementary school, lack of commitment to school, rebelliousness, and peer pressure. The more risk factors to which an individual is exposed, the greater the likelihood that the individual will engage in problem behaviors. Equally important is the evidence that certain protective factors can help shield youngsters from problems. LaRie Cutler, president of the Utah Federation for Youth which oversees the Ribbon Campaign, stresses prevention as the greatest deterrent found in the war against drugs. "Our communities recognize the problems and the need to be vigilant," she said. Mary Lou Bozich, Coordina tor for the Utah Substance Abuse and Coo- Remember that parents are the role models for their rdinating Council (U.S.A.V.E.) echoes Cutler's sentiments. "We know now what works," said Bozich in a telephone interview. "In order for prevention to work it must be ongoing and forever, built upon year after year." According to Bozich that is children. 4. Take advantage of every teaching moment. 5. Reinforce the information and rules being taught. 6. Know what is going on in your child's life at home, at school, and with friends. 7. Don't be afraid to set limits. 8. Learn the telltale signs of drug and alcohol use, or involvement with any gang activities. 9. If you think your child is trying drugs or alcohol, do something about it. 10. Keep in touch with the parents of your child's friends. 11. Remember, parent power is stronger than peer pressure. "Parents are the best prevention we have," she emphasized. The Utah Federation for Youth, located in the Human Services Building at 120 North 200 West, Salt Lake City, has resource material for loan statewide. The free service has information on all aspects of drug abuse, violence, and character Anti-Violen- the basis for the Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade curriculum approached by the State School Board. "When commitment and funding of programs wanes," she added, "that's when problems seem to resurface." Protective factors fall into three basic categories: 1. Having a resilient temperament or a positive social orientation. 2. Positive relationships that promote close bonds. 3. Healthy beliefs and clear standards. Cutler encourages parents to use the Ribbon Campaign to discuss what the acceptable "Standards of Behavior" are in their family. She suggests incorporating the following ideas into the lives of all parents: 1. Start drug and violence prevention early. 2. Don't be an enabler. 139 So.
