Health Unit Releases Drug Action Study


The Northwestern Health Unit has released the results of their Youth Action on Drugs Survey.

Over 2000 students from across the Kenora-Rainy River Districts participated in the study.

Health Promoter Saralyn Semeniuk says one major finding was that majority of them underestimate drug use among their peers.

Semeniuk says more then half of students reported that there aren't enough activities in the community that they can get involved in.
