81 Adolescent Substance Use What is normal adolescence? How do substance users differ? Does the media have a role? Implications 81

82 Summary: Teen Substance Users Abnormalities in brain functioning Poorer neurocognition Abnormal brain part sizes Poorer white matter Abnormal activation Enhanced cue response Worse for girls? 82

83 Prevention Implications Start early: more problems Cognitive Psychiatric Inform teens of risks Difference between A and B 83

84 What Can Be Done? Counter ads: 84

85 Treatment Implications Repeat information Encourage brain power Ask teens opinions Goals, activities, hope 85

86 Promoting Long-Term Success Reduce environmental risks Remove substances from home Watch out for group therapies Increase resources Alternative activities Sports, music Volunteer Pets Non-using peers Motivate 86

87 Feedback Brain of 16-year old non-drinking girl Your brain 87

88 Conclusions 1. Adolescent brains are developing 2. Substance users show abnormalities Even if don t meet for AUD 3. Girls even more at risk Hangover/withdrawal 4. Adolescent drinkers brains respond to ads 88
