A study at the University of Missouri found a reduction in drug use among young people who spend time volunteering:
Young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 report the highest rates of substance use and dependence, according to the National Survey on Drug Use & Health. A new study from the University of Missouri found that rural adolescents who engage in prosocial behaviors, such as volunteering and helping others, are less likely to use substances as young adults
A problem for rural youths, the study found, is fewer volunteering opportunities.
