Recommendations

• Continue efforts to address youth smoking
• Review community norms around underage drinking
  and risk taking behaviors.
• Encourage all adults in the community to become
  involved with teens in Reading.
• Consider implementing a survey with adults.
• Review school policies and enforcement regarding
  harassment and bullying on school property. A
  bullying prevention curriculum and/or sexual
  harassment training may be appropriate for both
  teens and staff.
• Consider doing an educational program regarding
  gambling addiction for students and parents.
• Promote available resources for teen suicide
  prevention issues.
• Compare data to 2005 Massachusetts YRBS when
  released in the summer of 2006.
