SURVEY: DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE DOWN AMONG VOLUSIA, FLAGLER TEENS
Volusia and Flagler County teenagers are cutting back on alcohol and
drugs, according to a recent state survey.
The survey administered last year through the Florida Department of
Children & Families shows that 44 percent of students in Volusia
County reported using alcohol in their lifetime, compared with 49
percent in 2012. The trend is similar in Flagler County where 46.7
percent of students reported ever consuming alcohol, down from 53
percent in 2012.
In 2014, 13.3 percent of Flagler students reported using marijuana in
the past 30 days, down from 15.3 in 2012. The same was true in Volusia
County where 13.5 students used marijuana within the last 30 days,
compared with 14 percent in 2012.
