By Jon Greenberg on Monday, January 29, 2007.

The latest on an old habit... A major conference in the Granite State this week looks at the research & trends on today’s teens and the drugs they use. We’ll learn more about these findings and how they differ in many ways from a generation ago. Jon's guests are Maria Gagnon, Assistant Director of the Adolescent Treatment Initiative at New Futures, the past Director of the Reclaiming Futures project and a clinical social worker who spent four years working at New Hampshire’s Division for Children, Youth and Families; and Eileen Fiori, Program Supervisor of Child and Family Services’ Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment program, licensed social worker and licensed alcohol and drug counselor. We'll also hear from Michael Nerney, Expert on adolescent brain development and a Consultant in substance abuse prevention and education.
