Answers
Answer:
Substance related disorders occurs when a person's use of alcohol or another substance (drug) leads to health issue or problems at work, school, or home. This is also called as substance abuse.
The youth can be made aware by this by:
1. school based awareness programs for children to impart the messages to them at an early age so that they can make healthy choices in life when they grow up.
2. Posters/ pamphlets/ notices to be displayed about it.
3. Youth groups in the community, who are important role models May be roped in through awareness programmes and also making use of them to in turn to spread message.
4. Women self-help groups can be educated as members of such groups May be affected by the family member's drug use and most importantly become independent.
