Dear Colleagues,
This last week was National Inhalants and Poisons Awareness
Week. According to a recent nationwide survey by the American
Academy of Pediatrics, one-quarter of the 600 young people
surveyed said their friends "huff" hazardous substances.
"Parents worry about alcohol and drugs, but may not realize
that home products also pose a substance abuse hazard," said
AAP President Joel J. Alpert, MD, FAAP. "Abusing inhalants
can cause severe permanent damage, especially to the brain."
Today's FPN focuses on drug and inhalant abuse.
