Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division

Misusing alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can have immediate and long-term effects, especially if started at a young age. Learn the facts about its health and social consequences. The CCP Branch focuses on activities to educate and support communities to prevent the misuse of drugs. Prevention activities can increase protective factors, reduce risk factors, and promote healthy and pro-social development.

Protective Factors: strong and positive family bonds • parental monitoring of children’s activities and peers • clear rules of conduct that are consistently enforced within the family • involvement of parents in the lives of their children • success in school performance • strong bonds with institutions, such as school and religious organizations • adoption of conventional norms about drug use • mentors.

Risk Factors: parent abusing substances or suffer from mental illnesses • domestic violence in the home • lack of parent-child bonding • inappropriately shy or aggressive behavior in the classroom • failure in school performance • poor social coping skills • affiliations with peers displaying deviant behaviors • perceptions of approval of drug-using behaviors in family, work, school, peer, and community environments.

​Emergency Medical Services (EMS) & Injury Prevention System Branch

The Department of Health, EMS & Injury Prevention System Branch, collaborates with partners across the state to address the leading causes of injury that include drowning prevention, fall prevention, poisoning prevention, suicide prevention, traffic safety, and violence and abuse prevention.

Hawaii Opioid Initiative (HOI)

HOI is a collaboration of public health, public safety, healthcare professionals, and community partners working together to address misuse and overdose related to opioids and other drugs.

Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF)

MTF survey measures drug and alcohol use and related attitudes among adolescent students nationwide.

National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)

NSDUH provides national and state-level data on the use of tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs (including the non-medical use of prescription drugs) and mental health in the United States.

Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS)

YRBSS monitors six categories of health-related behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults, including:

• Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence;
• Sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection;
• Alcohol and other drug use;
• Tobacco use;
• Unhealthy dietary behaviors; and
• Inadequate physical activity.

YRBSS is a system of a national school-based survey conducted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state, territorial, and tribal.  YRBSS also includes local surveys conducted by state, territorial, and local education and health agencies and tribal governments.

Prevention is an approach that examines and addresses root causes rather than symptoms and it can improve long-term outcomes and decrease healthcare costs. Working upstream in prevention is building the safety fence so that people don't fall into the water at all.

Prevention Tips for Preschoolers (2-4 years old)¹:
The preschool years are all about laying the foundation for healthy habits.
• Explain the importance of taking good care of our bodies – eating right, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep. Discuss how good you feel when you take care of yourself — how you can run, jump, play and even go to work for many hours.
• Celebrate your child’s decision-making skills. Whenever possible, let your child choose what to wear to help reinforce your child’s ability to make decisions.
• Help your child avoid dangerous substances that exist in their immediate world. Point out harmful chemicals commonly found in homes, such as bleach, kitchen cleaners and furniture polish.
• Keep all substances out of sight and out of reach of kids.
• Help your child understand the difference between make-believe and real life. Ask your child what they think about a TV program or story. Let your child know about your likes and dislikes and discuss how violence or bad decisions can hurt people.
• Turn frustration into a learning opportunity. If a tower of blocks keeps collapsing during a play session, work with your child to find possible solutions to the problem. Whenever possible, allow your child to come up with solutions so that they can gain confidence in their own abilities to problem solve or self-soothe.

Prevention Tips for Early Elementary (5-8 years old)¹:
Younger elementary school children still crave time and connection with family, and most are eager to please, but they’re also beginning to explore their individuality.
• Talk to your child about substance-related messages they see on TV or in movies or overhear at school. Ask your child how they feel about the things they’ve seen or heard — you’ll learn a great deal about what they’re thinking.
• Keep your discussions about substances focused on the present — long-term consequences are too distant to have meaning to most children of this age.
• Discuss the differences between the medicinal uses and illegal uses of drugs, and how taking prescription medicine the wrong way can be very dangerous.
• Set clear rules and expectations. If you smoke cigarettes, use vaping products or drink alcohol, be mindful of the message you are sending to your children. Try not to convey that it takes a drink or pill to relax, relieve stress or have fun. Be clear that alcohol and other substances are especially dangerous for children whose brains and bodies are still developing.
• Work on problem solving together: Help them find long-lasting solutions to homework trouble, a fight with a friend or dealing with a bully. Be sure to point out that quick fixes are not long-term solutions. Even if the choices they end up making are not exactly what you may have had in mind, there is opportunity to build confidence and resilience (assuming the choices are not dangerous).
• Get to know your child’s friends — and their parents. Check in to make sure they are giving their children the same kinds of messages you are giving yours. If those messages or different or inconsistent with yours, talk with your children about how different people make different choices. Explain why you believe your family’s choices are best for you and your children.

Prevention Tips for Preteen (9-12 years old)¹:
Preteens who are trying to figure out their place in the world tend to give their friends’ opinions a great deal of power. At the same time, they’re also beginning to question their parents’ views and rules. This shift is natural, healthy and part of a normal process of maturity and identity development.
• Make sure your child knows your rules — and that you’ll enforce the consequences if rules are broken. Children are less likely to use nicotine, alcohol and other substances if their parents have established a pattern of setting clear rules and consequences.
• Feelings of insecurity, doubt and pressure may creep in during puberty. Offset those feelings with a lot of positive comments about your child’s individuality and strengths. Focus on their effort, creativity and kindness rather than specific outcomes such as good grades or winning a game.
• Get to know your child’s friends — and their friends’ parents. Check in by phone or a visit occasionally to make sure they are on the same page about supervision and prohibiting substance use, particularly when their home is to be used for a party or sleepover.
• Help children separate reality from fantasy. Watch shows or movies with them and ask lots of questions to reinforce the distinction between the two. Remember to include advertising in your discussions, as those messages are especially powerful.

Prevention Tips for Teenagers (13-18 years old) ¹:
We know teens are incredibly savvy when it comes to their knowledge about substance use, and they need information and messages based in real life. This is a pivotal time for parents to help their teens make positive choices about substances.
• Make sure your teen knows the rules and the consequences for breaking those rules — and, most importantly, that you really will enforce those consequences. Teens are less likely to use nicotine, alcohol and other substances if their parents have established a pattern of setting clear rules and consequences for breaking those rules. Those consequences should be reasonable, enforceable and short-lived. If there’s no end in sight, teens will feel like there’s no way out and no real reason to continue to refrain from engaging in the undesired behavior.
• Make it clear that you disapprove of all alcohol, vaping, nicotine and drug use, and look for opportunities to discuss your feelings about substance use in a productive way: letters from the school, reacting to advertisements or seeing substance use on TV and in movies. Be ready to listen rather than give a lecture. Try using open-ended questions to get the conversation started.
• Let your teen in on all the things you find wonderful about them. They need to hear a lot of positive comments about their lives, who they are as individuals and all the wonderful things they have to look forward to if they are to remain healthy and safe.
• Show interest in and discuss your teen’s daily ups and downs. You’ll earn their trust, learn how to talk to each other, and you won’t take them by surprise when you voice a strong point of view about substances.

Prevention Tips for Young Adults (19-25 years old)¹:
As you prepare your young adult for life after high school, you can help guide them to a healthy experience — while still supporting their independence.
• Keep an open line of communication with your young adult as they leave home.
• Your young adult needs to know that if any problems or difficult situations arise, they can turn to you for help. Be an at-home resource for your young adult.
• Stay alert to possible mental health issues. There is a strong link between mental and physical health issues (including stress and anxiety) and substance use. Make sure you know what campus mental health resources are available to your young adult — and make sure they know, too.
• While the most popular drugs on college campuses are alcohol, vaping and marijuana, non-medical use of prescription stimulants, pain relievers and tranquilizers is also common and can be very dangerous. Though prescription medications can be beneficial when prescribed for your young adult by a doctor, their misuse (e.g., using someone else’s pills or in amounts or for reasons not prescribed) can have serious short- and long-term consequences.

The Internet is an incredible tool for conducting research, remote learning, exploring the world, listening to music, connecting with friends, playing video games, and more.  However, if used without proper knowledge or guidance, the Internet can be a dangerous place for youth, as there are numerous risks, some of which include cyberbullying, inappropriate content (sexting), virtual hijacking, and online offenders.  This section provides youth and parents/guardians with information on youth at-risk data, resources and prevention tips, and a webpage link to the State Legislature to keep up-to-date on the latest Hawaii laws concerning online safety.

The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of health-related behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults, including:

• Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence:
  • Social media;
  • Electronically bullied;
• Sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection;
• Alcohol and other drug use;
• Tobacco use;
• Unhealthy dietary behaviors; and
• Inadequate physical activity.

YRBSS is a system of a national school-based survey conducted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state, territorial, tribal; and local surveys conducted by state, territorial, and local education and health agencies and tribal governments.

If You are a Victim of Cyberbullying

Tell the bully to STOP!  Make sure to remain calm.  Don’t let your emotions take over.  If the bullying continues, you can warn them that you will be reporting the harassment which is a criminal offense.
