Sociology Project on a Bigger Scale

Drug abuse among college students has significantly increased and there is a lack of proper recognition and support in secondary education. I looked at several of the top Indiana colleges to try and get a scope of the idea as to who is versus isn't missing this useful information and created a narrative comparison chart pointing out a few " who do-s and dont's" on their webpages.  With that, there are three key areas of focus we can bring  our attention and efforts to that I found through several peer reviewed articles that seemed to be the most plausible.  Beginning with earlier years care,  such as in adolescence, it starts a better structured foundation to help  provide support and resources sooner, engraining a better sense of restraint.  Along with better goals within the family home, regardless of situation to provide better support, the next step is bringing awareness and help to the educational institutes so that the help can be passed onto students before they reach their college years.  Breaking up the socioeconomic culture surrounding peer relationships that foster the encouragement of substance abuse, and institutes having correct, relevant and up to date information is the final plausible step.  Calling out the culture that's fostered, within fraternities and sororities for example, along with having the help students need more frontward, leaves students in need less likely to stop looking for help and resources because of immediate availability. As  someone decides to seek help for either themselves or someone else, the help they need should be found immediately as it is an immediate problem.  This is not one that should be considered "back-burner" or insignificant especially when most reports state that those who abuse  substances, and are concerned with their usage,  also report wanting to seek help more than half of the time.
