Influence of Peer and Parental Risk Perception on Youth Substance Use

A KIP Data Poster Presentation

Influence of Peer and Parental Risk Perception on Youth Substance Use was presented at the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists Conference on June 24, 2023 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The presentation was authored by Meredith Cahill, Epidemiologist with REACH Evaluation of Louisville, Kentucky. (Co-authors: Lisa Crabtree, Teresa McGeeney, and Michael Jones of REACH Evaluation and Paula Brown of the Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities.)

The poster was centered on the role of peer and parental disapproval as protective factors against youth substance use. Particular focus was placed on examining whether peer or parental disapproval was more protective against youth vaping and cigarette, alcohol, and cannabis use among middle and high school students in Kentucky. To view the poster presentation, click on the link below.
