Received Date: Jan 02, 2025 / Published Date: Jan 31, 2025
Abstract
Adolescence is a critical period in human development, and vulnerable youth populations are at heightened risk for substance use and addiction. Factors such as trauma, socioeconomic instability, mental health issues, and lack of access to education or healthcare contribute to increased vulnerability. This paper explores the factors that put youth populations at risk for addiction, the role of prevention programs, and strategies to protect them from developing substance use disorders. It also examines the importance of early intervention, community-based support systems, and the need for policy initiatives that prioritize youth substance abuse prevention and education.
