Summary:
Educators in Castro Valley, California held a tobacco, alcohol, and other drug prevention conference that provided opportunities for middle school youth to educate each other about prevention tactics. The local school district devised the peer-education conference in response to data collected in WestEd's California Healthy Kids Survey, which revealed that area students were participating in substance abuse.
