A new scale can effectively gauge how young adults feel when they have been drinking and predict the associated negative consequences, research finds.
The words young adults use to describe how they feel when they’ve been drinking are a key to researchers understanding whether they will engage in risky behaviors such as driving under the influence.
“We wanted to understand which words young adults are using because they are at the highest risk for substance misuse,” says Ashley Linden-Carmichael, assistant research professor of health and human development in the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center at Penn State and the study’s principal investigator. “We need a consensus on how young adults talk about the effects of alcohol, so we can measure the effects correctly.”

The RE1J school district will begin polling citizens in the district about what elements in a proposed $98 million bond issue have strong support. The idea is to fine tune the bond proposal and then go to the public for a vote this fall.
The basic proposal as currently outlined would expand the Crested Butte Community School to accommodate just more than 1,000 students, improve safety protocols at the entrance to all of the district’s school buildings, upgrade some sustainable items such as replacing all lights with LED fixtures and improving things like mechanical and boiler systems. A new turf sports field in Gunnison is also part of the proposal. The CBCS was built to hold 760 students and there are currently about 800. Modulars are being used to accommodate the overflow and the current trend is showing the school adds about 24 students every year.
