Tuesday, May 12, 2020 – CADCA is proud to present this installment of its Research Into Action webinar series on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 2 pm EST featuring Brittany Bugbee, MPH. She will discuss her recent article, “Substance Use, Academic Performance, and Academic Engagement Among High School Seniors,” which was published in Journal of School Health in 2019.
Ms. Bugbee discussed her and her colleagues’ article’s findings regarding the effect of substance use on academic achievement among 12th grade students. The article found that past-year substance users had 2.71 greater odds of skipping school during the past month than lifetime non-users and 1.74 greater odds of having low grades. Ms. Bugbee also discussed the implications her findings have for coalitions addressing youth substance use and misuse in their communities.
