Extractions: The Effects of Substance Abuse on the Development of Children: Educational Implications Author: Colleen Meade Originally Posted At: http://www.teach-nology.com/tutorials/teaching/abuse/ Another great tutorial from TeAch-nology.com! The Web Portal For Educators! ( http://www.teach-nology.com **What's All the Hype?** The effect of substance abuse on growing fetuses has been avidly researched in recent years. The birth of the Thalidomide babies in the early 1960 awakened the world to the fact that drugs ingested by the mother can severely impact the development of the growing baby. Thalidomide was widely prescribed to relieve morning sickness in pregnant women. It was the use of Thalidomide that affected "nearly 12,000 infants in 46 countries" and caused defective "limbs, eyes, ears, genitals, and internal organs" (Bethune, 2001). The birth of these children soon became known as "history's greatest medical disaster" (Bethune, 2001). This paper seeks to describe the possible effects of substance abuse in gestation, the environmental effects from typical substance-abusive households, and the implications in the field of education. It also seeks to outline curricular adaptations, which can be made to appropriately educate children affected by these issues.

Extractions: Volume 7, Nos 4/5, July - September 2001,819- 828 ABSTRACT To determine the prevalence of smoking in Lebanon, 727 individuals aged 19 years were randomly selected for study using Emile Roux and Fagerstrom questionnaires. Smokers were defined as those answering "yes" to the question, "Do you currently smoke?" A Fagerstrom score 6 indicated strong nicotine addiction. The prevalence of smoking was 53.6%. The male/female ratio was 1.23, with 67.0% of smokers categorized as addicted. Failure to quit was related to withdrawal symptoms, mostly irritability (57%) and weight gain (20%). Recommendations are given for combating this high prevalence of tobacco use.

Teen Tobacco Use :: Family The nicotine in tobacco acts as a stimulant, depressant, or tranquilizer depending to teach consequences of tobacco use as a part of health education. http://www.nice2know.com/articles/parenting/3358
Extractions: Ninety percent of smokers begin smoking by the age of 19. Nicotine is considered the number one entrance into other substance abuse. Adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who smoke daily are 15 times more likely to use illicit drugs than their peers. Substance abuse is a learned behavior. Teens who begin smoking learn to use the substance. The earlier youth begin using tobacco, the more likely they will continue use into adulthood. Why is tobacco use addicting? The nicotine in tobacco acts as a stimulant, depressant, or tranquilizer depending on the dosage. An individual builds up tolerance to tobacco use, requiring larger doses to maintain a certain physiological effect. When the body becomes accustomed to the presence of nicotine, it then requires the chemical to function normally. This level of dependence is referred to as an addiction. Teens who are addicted to tobacco have several common experiences. A number of them tried their first cigarette in the sixth or seventh grade. Smokers often do not perform well at school. They do not feel they are a part of school and are isolated from those students who are active in sports. Most of the smokers feel they have little hope of going to college or getting a good job after high school. They also report addictions to other substances, such as alcohol. They experience pressure from home and school, and use tobacco as a form of relief. In addition, teen smokers enjoy trying to hide their smoking or outwit school administration. This has made school more fun for some tobacco users.

HISTORY OF MEDICINE back to top Nursing Standards At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a separate team of women called the "night watch" was responsible for the night nursing in the London teaching hospitals. The night watchers were often the uneducated, and frequently the "scrubbers," or charwomen, who cleaned the halls and stairways in the hospitals in the daytime. As the century progressed, the expanding capabilities of the new academic medicine forced an improvement in the standard of nursing. The difficulty in finding clinically experienced nurses who were willing to work nights at an affordable price, however, made it possible for the night watchers to remain in the new professionally organized hospital long after such unskilled and undisciplined workers had been phased out of other areas. By the end of the century when hospitals began rotating partially trained probationer, or student, nurses onto nights, the night watchers finally disappeared from the teaching hospitals.

Extractions: Tobacco Tobacco use is increasingly becoming taboo in American society. Yet, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 32 percent of the total population has used tobacco within the past year, and 72 percent of the population has tried tobacco at some time throughout the course of their lives. Disturbingly, 36 percent of 12- to 17-year-old adolescents have already tried tobacco. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, causing more than 419,000 deaths each year at an annual cost of more than $50 billion, according to a 1996 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention recognizes the serious threat that chewing and smoking tobacco poses to the health of Americans and is committed to stemming the tide of new smokers by deterring tobacco's use. This guide provides the latest information and referrals for tobacco use prevention. It highlights research, materials, programs, and organizations for prevention professionals, educators, parents, and the general public. By working together, we can save lives. Nelba Chavez, Ph.D.

Extractions: Women's and Perinatal Health Tobacco Use Cessation and Youth Issue Brief, August 1999 Why Tobacco Cessation For Youth? In spite of this increased attention on tobacco and the prevention of its use among young people, little concern has been given to youth who already smoke, with some exceptions that will be described later in this paper. In the fight against tobacco use and addiction, prevention is the top priority and the key to promoting healthy lifestyles. However, even with successful health education efforts, which have resulted in significant progress towards preventing children and adolescents from ever using tobacco, more than 3,000 young people still become regular smokers each day and approximately six million are current smokers (1). Tobacco Use Among Youth Tobacco use is the leading cause of death in theUnited States (4). It is a pandemic that has its roots in adolescence almost 90 percent of adult smokers began at or before age 18 (5). Over the past ten years the number of kids under 18 who become daily smokers each year has increased by over half a million. This is a greater than 70 percent increase (6). It is estimated that 3,000 children become regular smokers each day and given current smoking and disease trends, almost a third of these underage smokers will ultimately die from tobacco use (6,7).
