“Latino youth are at risk, and we must do something about it.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows disturbing trends for Latino youth in America.
On June 8, the agency’s “2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey” revealed that, compared with white youth and black youth, young Latinos are significantly more likely to use drugs. For example, one in eight Latino youth reports having used cocaine at least once. For “ecstasy,” it’s one in 10; methamphetamine, one in 11; and heroin, one in 28, according to the survey.”
