Also troubling was the high amount of youth — 47 percent — reporting alcohol or drug abuse by their parents. Additionally, half reported a parent had been previously arrested and jailed.
“It is clear that in many households, a cycle of substance abuse exists that needs to be addressed before additional generations are also affected,” the study concludes.
Other findings include:
• 32 percent reported having abused prescription or over-the-counter medication, such as Vicodin, OxyContin or codeine.
• One in three youth said they had received some type of previous treatment for drug use, with the majority being court-ordered programs rather than voluntary.
• 88 percent said they’d used alcohol or marijuana by the age of 13.
• A quarter of girls interviewed reported being approached about prostitution. Three boys and three girls said they’d engaged in prostitution before.
