DID YOU KNOW?
Knowledge is Power.
There is a lot of information on the internet. Some helpful. Some...not so much. ReGen Next provides content that encourages the avoidance of risk behaviors like drug and alcohol use, smoking (e-cigs included), teen sexual activity, prescription drug abuse, poor school performance, delinquency and violence.
We present current statistics and trends as reported by reputable, nationally-recognized sources. And, we present our own findings based upon analysis of the ReGen Next Survey data collected from the teens, college students, young adults and parents who engage with us. This information is useful because knowledge is power. And with empowerment comes the ability to change because we know better.
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS WE THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW :
- High school dropout rates are down.
- Education attainment leads to more earnings and less unemployment.
- Employment outlook is good for jobs requiring an associate’s, certification or some college.
- Sexual activity among teens continues to decline.
- Teen pregnancy is down.
- From 1980-2024, underage alcohol and marijuana use has declined.
- Tobacco product use has decreased among middle and high school students mostly due to the decline in e-cigarette use.
- Substance abuse among 8th, 10th and 12th graders in 2023 remained at or below pre-pandemic levels.
