(1:30) In Australia, 28.5% of teens reported drug abuse in the previous 12 months. (1:37) Classified as a depressive disorder, alcohol affects a growing brain more than a fully grown adult and causes irreversible changes that can lead to learning difficulties, memory problems, and depression. (1:55) Throughout this investigation, my personal barriers and enablers will be analyzed.
(2:01) A group harm minimization strategy will be proposed, justified and evaluated on its potential effectiveness at reducing the likelihood of harm of alcohol in adolescents. (2:12) I have many barriers and enablers that could influence my use of alcohol. (2:17) Due to excessive amounts of schoolwork and homework, it causes significant amounts of stress and anxiety.
(2:22) Stress is one of the primary reasons that I might drink. (2:26) Between 20% and 30% of teens suffer from anxiety when up to half of them use or misuse alcohol. (2:33) Therefore, stress can be harmful to them if they try to be cool and maybe use it as a coping mechanism.
(2:39) This is because alcohol can regulate fear and anxiety, and it has anxiolytic properties. (2:46) However, for hate groups, it is more likely to decrease the likelihood of my use of alcohol in the future. (2:52) Healthy peer groups make me feel less isolated, judged, and can help with stress and anxiety.
(2:59) This positive self-esteem will reduce the likelihood of alcohol use in the future. (3:04) Additionally, another barrier includes exposure to alcohol. (3:08) This includes family use and betrayals and rumors.
(3:11) This has proven to affect the drinking behaviors of youth, particularly young people. (3:16) Considering that movies and TV shows play a big role in my entertainment during my free time, this might result in me being reckless. (3:24) Additionally, as my parents occasionally use alcohol during family dinners, it could influence my behavior towards alcohol, potentially making me infighter.
(3:33) This could increase the likelihood of my use of alcohol in the future. (3:38) However, due to early education, this enabler can prevent this barrier. (3:42) For example, at a young age, I've been told of the consequences if alcohol or the parents were told.
(3:48) This education might make me less inclined to try alcohol. (3:52) This is proven to prevent alcohol use in my adolescence and will decrease the risk of alcohol use in the future. (3:59) To minimize harm and the group effect within Mansfield State High School, a group strategy is proposed in teens, including students from Mansfield State High School.
(4:12) This will involve videos on social media to put the viewers in the harmful effects of alcohol that would evoke fear resulting in less teens wanting to use alcohol. (4:22) These campaigns will be on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, as these are the most common platforms amongst adolescents. (4:33) This will deter adolescents from the use of alcohol as social media campaigns are known for their strong influence.
(4:40) This strategy is a demand reduction strategy aimed at lowering the amount of people wanting alcohol. (4:46) According to recent statistics, 93% of teens actively use social media platforms daily. (4:52) Since there is a staggering amount of adolescents that use social media, this campaign will be seen by many.
(4:58) This will therefore influence and educate many teens reducing their demand for alcohol and will minimize the risks involved. (5:05) There are many potential outcomes and limitations associated with this strategy. (5:11) By broadcasting this campaign, we will not only influence the school community, but also teens worldwide.
(5:17) Although a large sum of money is required, social media campaigns are relatively cheap compared to other forms of advertising. (5:24) However, a significant amount of time will need to be invested, making this strategy very consuming. (5:30) However, this strategy will reach millions of teenagers decreasing their risk of abuse of alcohol in the present age.
