Right to health of adolescents 2016, para. 101
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- With regard to the prevention of substance use, children and young people should be provided with accurate and objective information, which should be available in easy-to-understand formats or Braille. Scare tactics and misinformation are known to be ineffective, whereas building resilience and trust while focusing on those demonstrating risk-taking behaviours has delivered promising results. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has produced guidance on drug prevention standards to be used when designing prevention policies and porgrammes.
