Description: Adolescents are vulnerable to harmful risk-taking, and affected by social environments, which impact on behaviour. Scientific evidence-based prevention strategies ensure that youth stay healthy and safe through adulthood and old age. Every dollar spent on prevention can save at least ten dollars in future health, social, and crime caused by SUD. This video showcases youth-focused prevention interventions in the Indian context, highlighting The Alternative Pursuits Program, based on the Icelandic Prevention Model, a science-based prevention program developed by the Fourth Wave Foundation.
