Prescription drugs are the second most commonly abused illicit drug among adolescentssurpassed only by marijuana. Painkillers, depressants, and stimulants are the medications most frequently abused. The negative consequences of prescription drug abuse can be severe. Many teenagers abuse prescription drugs in combination with alcohol or other drugs, increasing the risk for adverse outcomes. Unlike other types of illicit drugs, prescription drugs can be fairly accessible to teenagers, who most often find these drugs in their own homes. Accessibility, along with the common misconception that prescription drugs are a safe high, make adolescent prescription drug abuse an increasingly significant problem that demands [our] attention. Nearly one in five teens report abusing prescription drugs to get high. One third of all new abusers of prescription drugs in 2006 were 12 - 17 years old. Pain relievers, like Vicodin and Oxycontin, are the prescription drugs most commonly abused by teens. Nearly 40 percent of teens report having friends who abuse prescription pain relievers and nearly 30 percent report having friends who abuse prescription stimulants. Over half of teens say they abuse prescription painkillers because the medications arent illegal; one in three believes there is less shame attached to using prescription drugs than illicit drugs; and one in five said parents dont care as much if you get caught abusing prescription drugs. CONNECT Activity: Give students the CONNECT Prescription Drug Abuse Survey. Teachers collect it, and turn it in to the main office by the end of the day. Play the educational game Tic Tac Toe Trivia. (You will need a roll of masking tape.) TIC TAC TOE TRIVIA Prescription Drug Abuse How to Play: Divide the group into two (2) teams. Designate one team to be Xs and the other to be Os. Using masking tape, create a large Tic Tac Toe game board on the floor. Students will be working in their teams to answer trivia questions about prescription drug abuse. For each question that a team gets right, one person from that team takes a place on the Tic Tac Toe board, making an X (by crossing his/her arms) or an O (with his/her arms). Teams take turns answering questions. If they get a question right, one team member takes a place on the board. If they get it wrong, they get no place on the board. Teams can work together to get an answer, but once a student has taken a place on the board, they are NOT allowed to help their team answer any more questions. The first team to get three (3) Xs or Os in a row WINS. Important Teachers Note: Students, having had no prior instruction about prescription drug abuse, may not know the answers. They should guess. The purpose of playing the game is to learn about the topic, not to know all the answers right away. Tic Tac Toe Trivia Questions (and answers) T or F.

(F flushing medications could pollute the groundwater, including our drinking water. Dispose of old or unused medications in the trash, preferably mixing them with an undesirable substance to prevent theft. The WR police department will also collect these medications and dispose of them for you.)
