Evidence Insufficient Regarding Interventions to Prevent Illicit Drug Use in Children, Teens and Young Adults
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, MAY 26, 2020
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.
Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2020.6774?guestAccessKey=0b2fedde-2852-47ab-94e8-600db89324bd&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=052620
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has concluded that current evidence is insufficient to make a recommendation regarding primary care-based behavioral counseling interventions to prevent illicit drug use (including nonmedical use of prescription drugs) in children, adolescents and young adults. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation is consistent with its 2014 statement, although it now includes young adults ages 18-25. Illicit drug use, defined as the use of substances (not including alcohol or tobacco products) that are illegally obtained or involve nonmedical use of prescription medications, contributes to the leading causes of death among young people ages 10-24.

USPSTF Recommendation on Primary Care Interventions for Prevention, Cessation of Tobacco Use in Children, Adolescents
JAMA
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 2020
Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 202-572-2044. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.
Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2020.4679?guestAccessKey=c803d81e-9c08-4856-b8d6-40d677c4520f&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=042820
Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends primary care clinicians provide interventions, including education or brief counseling, to prevent the start of tobacco use among school-age children and adolescents younger than 18. Estimates suggest that every day about 1,600 young people ages 12 to 17 smoke their first cigarette and that about 5.6 million adolescents alive today will die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this statement is consistent with its 2013 recommendation, although it now includes electronic cigarettes as a tobacco product and adds that there is insufficient evidence to make a recommendation on primary care interventions for quitting tobacco use among this age group.
