The San Francisco Board of Supervisors recently approved a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-bans-sale-menthol-cigarettes-eliminate-least-50-5m-tobacco-sales/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city-wide ban\u003c/a> on the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes.

Teen binge drinking rates are so high, and the consequences so serious, that the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a new report to help physicians spot and care for young drinkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To increase the chances of identifying at-risk youth, says Siqueira, the report’s lead author, doctors should screen every child in their practice for alcohol use, starting at age nine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A troubling trend\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most young people in the United States do not drink alcohol, but those who do are more likely than adults to drink heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the defining traits of adolescence –- a strong desire to fit in with peers, seek novel experiences and test limits –- make this tumultuous passage a prime time for flirting with substance use. And for most teens, alcohol is the substance of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People dealing with increased stress are at higher risk for using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, says Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, director of research in the division of adolescent medicine at Stanford University. “Going back to school, especially for those taking difficult classes or thinking about college, can enhance stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AAP report was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. It draws on several national studies of youth drinking behavior which show that binge drinking rates increase with age and rise sharply in high school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>21 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol before 8th grade\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>79 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol by 12th \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">grade\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>14.2 percent of 12- to 20-year-olds say they engaged in binge drinking in 2013\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>36 to 50 percent of high school students drink alcohol; 28 to 60 percent of them admit to binge drinking and nearly two-thirds have done so more than once in a month\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 percent of high school seniors say they’ve had more than 10 drinks in a row\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Studies of adolescent binge drinking may underestimate its impacts, the report warns, because the cutoff of five or more drinks in two hours is based on adult males.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniquely vulnerable\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binge drinking is particularly risky for teens because they are not little adults, says Siqueira. “Volume for volume, they’re far more likely to get intoxicated than you and I, so it can be very dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adolescents undergo many rapid physical and mental changes that make them more open to trying alcohol even as their still-developing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to its effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one binge-drinking episode can result in death, either from alcohol poisoning or injuries sustained while engaging in risky behavior. Alcohol is associated with suicide, homicide and car crashes -- the leading causes of death for teenagers. Nearly a third of fatal auto accidents among 15- to 20-year-olds involve alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen binge drinkers are also more likely to do poorly in school, have sex earlier, acquire sexually transmitted diseases from unprotected sex and fall prey to sexual violence during a drinking episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy drinking poses long-term risks, too. Alcohol exposure during adolescence, when connections between different brain regions are still forming, can lead to chronic problems with learning and memory and may increase susceptibility to addiction: kids who start drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to become alcohol dependent than those who start after age 20. Young binge drinkers are also at risk for developing multiple chronic conditions later in life, including cancer and liver disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children with chronic medical conditions, alcohol can make them prone to skipping their medications, according to a new study, also published Monday in Pediatrics. More than a third of high school students with diabetes, asthma or other chronic conditions use alcohol, the study found, and are less likely to take their medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Report Recommends New Tool for Doctors\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Impulsive people who like to chase thrills are at high risk for substance abuse. But for kids, these traits may have more to do with an immature brain than a reckless nature. Younger kids and late bloomers may be more likely to try alcohol without considering the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet doctors often mistakenly assume kids aren’t using alcohol, says Siqueira. That’s why the report recommends making a \u003ca href=\"http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Practitioner/YouthGuide/YouthGuide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">tool designed to spot alcohol\u003c/a> use in kids part of routine checkups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving health care providers specific questions to ask kids about how much they’re drinking, who they’re drinking with and when they’re drinking is particularly helpful, says Halpern-Felsher. Doctors can use that information to provide referrals, treatment and especially positive feedback, she says. “You want to say, ‘I’m glad you’re not drinking. That’s a great decision.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preventing alcohol use is far more effective than starting intervention once a problem is spotted, and parents play a critical role in prevention: 80 percent of teens say their parents are the biggest factor in deciding whether to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Siqueira encourages parents to view pediatricians as partners by giving them the chance to talk privately with a child. Children may be more likely to open up when they aren’t afraid of being judged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter the ubiquity of alcohol advertising -– especially brands that cater to teens with fruit-flavored concoctions and pretty little bottles –- experts say it’s important for parents to talk to their children as early as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too often, parents of kids hospitalized for intoxication feel relieved to learn that “it’s only alcohol” and not drugs, says Siqueira. But she thinks that’s a dangerous reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents need to realize that kids don’t nurse a drink like an adult might at a party, she says. “They’re swigging from a bottle, drinking huge amounts in a short time.” She hopes that parents take every opportunity to warn their children about the dangers of alcohol, before it’s too late.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Pediatricians should screen all patients for alcohol use — starting at age 9, report says.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1441324623,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":31,"wordCount":1189},"headData":{"title":"How Pediatricians Can Play Key Role in Stopping Teen Binge Drinking | KQED","description":"Pediatricians should screen all patients for alcohol use — starting at age 9, report says.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"70432 http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/?p=70432","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2015/08/31/pediatricians-can-play-key-role-in-stopping-teen-binge-drinking/","disqusTitle":"How Pediatricians Can Play Key Role in Stopping Teen Binge Drinking","nprByline":"Liza Gross","path":"/stateofhealth/70432/pediatricians-can-play-key-role-in-stopping-teen-binge-drinking","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Several years ago, pediatrician Lorena Siqueira treated a young boy who’d passed out after getting drunk.

Teen binge drinking rates are so high, and the consequences so serious, that the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a new report to help physicians spot and care for young drinkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To increase the chances of identifying at-risk youth, says Siqueira, the report’s lead author, doctors should screen every child in their practice for alcohol use, starting at age nine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A troubling trend\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most young people in the United States do not drink alcohol, but those who do are more likely than adults to drink heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the defining traits of adolescence –- a strong desire to fit in with peers, seek novel experiences and test limits –- make this tumultuous passage a prime time for flirting with substance use. And for most teens, alcohol is the substance of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People dealing with increased stress are at higher risk for using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, says Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, director of research in the division of adolescent medicine at Stanford University. “Going back to school, especially for those taking difficult classes or thinking about college, can enhance stress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AAP report was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. It draws on several national studies of youth drinking behavior which show that binge drinking rates increase with age and rise sharply in high school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>21 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol before 8th grade\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>79 percent of kids admit to having tried alcohol by 12th \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5\">grade\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>14.2 percent of 12- to 20-year-olds say they engaged in binge drinking in 2013\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>36 to 50 percent of high school students drink alcohol; 28 to 60 percent of them admit to binge drinking and nearly two-thirds have done so more than once in a month\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 percent of high school seniors say they’ve had more than 10 drinks in a row\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Studies of adolescent binge drinking may underestimate its impacts, the report warns, because the cutoff of five or more drinks in two hours is based on adult males.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniquely vulnerable\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binge drinking is particularly risky for teens because they are not little adults, says Siqueira. “Volume for volume, they’re far more likely to get intoxicated than you and I, so it can be very dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adolescents undergo many rapid physical and mental changes that make them more open to trying alcohol even as their still-developing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to its effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even one binge-drinking episode can result in death, either from alcohol poisoning or injuries sustained while engaging in risky behavior. Alcohol is associated with suicide, homicide and car crashes -- the leading causes of death for teenagers. Nearly a third of fatal auto accidents among 15- to 20-year-olds involve alcohol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen binge drinkers are also more likely to do poorly in school, have sex earlier, acquire sexually transmitted diseases from unprotected sex and fall prey to sexual violence during a drinking episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy drinking poses long-term risks, too. Alcohol exposure during adolescence, when connections between different brain regions are still forming, can lead to chronic problems with learning and memory and may increase susceptibility to addiction: kids who start drinking before age 15 are four times as likely to become alcohol dependent than those who start after age 20. Young binge drinkers are also at risk for developing multiple chronic conditions later in life, including cancer and liver disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children with chronic medical conditions, alcohol can make them prone to skipping their medications, according to a new study, also published Monday in Pediatrics. More than a third of high school students with diabetes, asthma or other chronic conditions use alcohol, the study found, and are less likely to take their medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Report Recommends New Tool for Doctors\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Impulsive people who like to chase thrills are at high risk for substance abuse. But for kids, these traits may have more to do with an immature brain than a reckless nature. Younger kids and late bloomers may be more likely to try alcohol without considering the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet doctors often mistakenly assume kids aren’t using alcohol, says Siqueira. That’s why the report recommends making a \u003ca href=\"http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Practitioner/YouthGuide/YouthGuide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">tool designed to spot alcohol\u003c/a> use in kids part of routine checkups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving health care providers specific questions to ask kids about how much they’re drinking, who they’re drinking with and when they’re drinking is particularly helpful, says Halpern-Felsher. Doctors can use that information to provide referrals, treatment and especially positive feedback, she says. “You want to say, ‘I’m glad you’re not drinking. That’s a great decision.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preventing alcohol use is far more effective than starting intervention once a problem is spotted, and parents play a critical role in prevention: 80 percent of teens say their parents are the biggest factor in deciding whether to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Siqueira encourages parents to view pediatricians as partners by giving them the chance to talk privately with a child. Children may be more likely to open up when they aren’t afraid of being judged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter the ubiquity of alcohol advertising -– especially brands that cater to teens with fruit-flavored concoctions and pretty little bottles –- experts say it’s important for parents to talk to their children as early as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too often, parents of kids hospitalized for intoxication feel relieved to learn that “it’s only alcohol” and not drugs, says Siqueira.

And it doesn't have to be that way, sports medicine specialists say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many student deaths from head and neck injuries, heat stroke, sudden heart trouble and exertion-related sickle cell crises can be prevented, according to a scrum of leading sports doctors, athletic trainers, research physiologists and high school administrators who have endorsed a detailed set of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nata.org/sites/default/files/preventing-sudden-death.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">guidelines\u003c/a> for keeping high school athletes safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Give student athletes several days to acclimatize at the start of every season.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"The idea was to create something that schools could almost use as a checklist,\" says Douglas Casa, who helped shape the consensus guidelines published in the August issue of the \u003cem>Journal of Athletic Training\u003c/em>. Casa, who led a similar effort to produce conditioning \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3396308/\">guidelines for college athletes\u003c/a> in 2012, is a sports physiologist at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the key recommendations for high schools follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Have a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nata.org/node/645\">certified athletic trainer\u003c/a> available during games and practices.\u003c/strong> Roughly a third of public high schools and many private ones don't do that, Casa tells Shots, and it's a problem during emergencies. \"It's unbelievable,\" he says, \"that some of the same schools that insist on having a school nurse on hand to handle emergencies from 8 to 2 don't have a medical professional onsite to make key decisions after school when students are exerting themselves in the heat or under other extreme conditions.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Have an \u003ca href=\"http://www.redcross.org/prepare/location/workplace/easy-as-aed\">AED\u003c/a> (automated external defibrillator) within easy reach\u003c/strong> during practices and games to jump-start a heart that suddenly fails. \"Cardiac problems are becoming much more survivable, but the AED has to be out on the field with the athletic trainer and on the kid's chest within a minute after the heart stops to save a life,\" says. Running inside the school to pull the device from the hallway case isn't fast enough, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Have water freely available at all times, and give student athletes a tightly structured, several-day acclimatization period at the start of every season\u003c/strong> — especially in summer — with shorter, less intense practices that will help their bodies adjust to the big shifts in heat and exertion of a full game or regular practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Cool the victim of a heat stroke immediately, even before transport to the hospital.\u003c/strong>\"You've got to get their body temperature down to under 104 degrees within 30 minutes of collapse if you want to save somebody's life,\" Casa says. The guidelines recommend\u003ca href=\"http://ksi.uconn.edu/ksi/assets/File/CWI%20cooling%20guidelines.pdf\">immersion in ice cold water\u003c/a>. \"Every high school has ice and water, and the tank costs $150,\" Casa says. \"It's worth it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Recommend that all players, especially any \"performing intense physical activity,\" check with their doctor to see if they carry the sickle cell trait.\u003c/strong> All newborns in the U.S. these days are screened for the sickle cell gene, so the player's pediatrician may have the results on file. (Note that people with sickle cell disease inherit two copies of the gene responsible for the illness; those with one copy of the gene are said to have the sickle cell trait — a condition that is usually benign. Rarely, though, according to the American Society of Hematology, \"extreme conditions such as severe dehydration and high-intensity physical activity,\" can prompt serious health issues, including sudden death.)

Have a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nata.org/node/645\">certified athletic trainer\u003c/a> available during games and practices.\u003c/strong> Roughly a third of public high schools and many private ones don't do that, Casa tells Shots, and it's a problem during emergencies. \"It's unbelievable,\" he says, \"that some of the same schools that insist on having a school nurse on hand to handle emergencies from 8 to 2 don't have a medical professional onsite to make key decisions after school when students are exerting themselves in the heat or under other extreme conditions.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Have an \u003ca href=\"http://www.redcross.org/prepare/location/workplace/easy-as-aed\">AED\u003c/a> (automated external defibrillator) within easy reach\u003c/strong> during practices and games to jump-start a heart that suddenly fails. \"Cardiac problems are becoming much more survivable, but the AED has to be out on the field with the athletic trainer and on the kid's chest within a minute after the heart stops to save a life,\" says. Running inside the school to pull the device from the hallway case isn't fast enough, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Have water freely available at all times, and give student athletes a tightly structured, several-day acclimatization period at the start of every season\u003c/strong> — especially in summer — with shorter, less intense practices that will help their bodies adjust to the big shifts in heat and exertion of a full game or regular practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Cool the victim of a heat stroke immediately, even before transport to the hospital.\u003c/strong>\"You've got to get their body temperature down to under 104 degrees within 30 minutes of collapse if you want to save somebody's life,\" Casa says. The guidelines recommend\u003ca href=\"http://ksi.uconn.edu/ksi/assets/File/CWI%20cooling%20guidelines.pdf\">immersion in ice cold water\u003c/a>. \"Every high school has ice and water, and the tank costs $150,\" Casa says. \"It's worth it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Recommend that all players, especially any \"performing intense physical activity,\" check with their doctor to see if they carry the sickle cell trait.\u003c/strong> All newborns in the U.S. these days are screened for the sickle cell gene, so the player's pediatrician may have the results on file. (Note that people with sickle cell disease inherit two copies of the gene responsible for the illness; those with one copy of the gene are said to have the sickle cell trait — a condition that is usually benign. Rarely, though, according to the American Society of Hematology, \"extreme conditions such as severe dehydration and high-intensity physical activity,\" can prompt serious health issues, including sudden death.)
