Ancillary Effects of Substance Use

Ancillary Effects of Substance Use

What's the Common Denominator?

Everyone remembers the busy work assignments we had in grade school where you matched the word with the synonym or definition.  Can you match these social/behavioral issues with the correct implication?”

As you can tell, there is no answer key to this worksheet!  It doesn’t really matter which came first, they are debilitating, life-altering, and sometimes the permanently damaging ancillary effects of substance use.

However, the real common denominator for all these societal afflictions is prevention; increasing protective factors while decreasing risk factors.  Is your community taking a multi-thronged approach to improving its behavioral health and reducing substance use?
