“…Used twice a day, such a bottle would last for one to two weeks. In addition, inhalant abuse has been correlated with peers doing it, such as on school grounds or at friends' houses, 14 and in our patients one specifically reported that they would inhale benzine as a group whilst driving in the school bus to and from school every day. This patient was also aware of many other children in his and neighbouring schools who regularly inhaled benzine.…”

“…The RCT tests for the efficacy of multi-component environmental strategies (household, school, and retail outlet environmental strategies) to reduce HLPs among youth in rural Alaska (Johnson et al, 2012). This research includes 16 rural communities in Alaska that are matched and randomly assigned to an intervention group (8 communities) and a control group (8 communities).…”

This article presents results from a study of a home environmental strategy (HES) designed to reduce availability of harmful legal products (HLPs) in the home that can be used by youth to get high. HLPs include inhalants, prescription and non-prescription drugs, and household products that can be ingested to get high. Availability is one of the most consistent predictors of substance use among youth. Parents of 5th to 7th-grade students in four Alaskan communities participated in telephone interviews as part of a larger study of a multi-component Community Prevention Model that included a HES. The strategy was designed to encourage parents to reduce availability of HLPs by removing them from the home, and by locking up and monitoring the supplies of HLPs in the home. Data from 402 parents at Wave 1 and 371 parents at Wave 2 were analyzed using Hierarchical Non-Linear Modeling (HNLM). Results show there was a significant decrease in HLPs in the home from Wave 1 to Wave 2, mostly inhalants, prescription and non-prescription drugs. Parents also reported a significant increase in locking up prescription and non-prescription drugs in the home. Parents’ direct exposure to the HES was marginally associated with the change over time in HLP availability in the home. Indirect exposure through others and media was not associated with this change. Study lessons learned and conclusions are highlighted.
