IUB Newsroom 24th annual survey of Indiana children and teens shows 21-year decline in alcohol use Fewer Hoosier students depressed than national average, finds survey by the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington's Indiana Prevention Resource Center Sept. 23, 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The 24th Annual Survey of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Use by Indiana Children and Adolescents, conducted by the Indiana Prevention Resource Center at Indiana University's School of Public Health-Bloomington, highlights a 21-year decline in the lifetime and monthly use of alcohol across all grade levels (6-12). "We are extremely pleased to see fewer youth using alcohol," Indiana Prevention Resource Center executive director Ruth Gassman said. "Prevention education and efforts to reduce access to alcohol in homes and stores are having a positive effect. We're also seeing success in community groups working to change the view that alcohol consumption by youth is harmless." In 1993, more than 80 percent of high school seniors had tried alcohol at least once in their lifetime. By 2014, fewer than 60 percent of seniors had done so. In 1993, more than 50 percent of high school seniors were drinking alcohol at least once a month. By 2014, only about 30 percent of seniors were drinking alcohol every month. Indiana students reported in 2014 that their most common means of acquiring alcohol was not through stores or restaurants (0.2 percent and 0.5 percent for 12th-graders) but from having another person purchase it for them or give it to them, or from a family member. 37 Section 25 Name: ____________________________________ Store and restaurant sales are regulated, and stricter enforcement of sales and server laws reduce the chances of youth making purchases or being served. The 2014 survey results are based on responses from 119,147 students in Grades 6 through 12 at 429 public and private schools in Indiana. 38 Section 26 Name: ____________________________________ Show work to receive full credit.

Bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Salmonella are notorious for spoiling food and making us sick if ingested. http://www.whitsunday.qld.gov.au/food What if a single bacterium landed in a nutrient filled test tube at 10:00 am? Since bacteria use nutrients and reproduce by doubling (binary fission), at 10:01 am there are 2 bacteria. Now the binary fission continues and at 10:02 there are 4 bacteria, and 10:03 there are 8 bacteria and so on. In other words, the bacteria consume the nutrients present and double every minute.

Some people have become dependent on caffeine and drink caffeine-rich beverages on a regular basis to keep these levels somewhat constant. If the milligrams of caffeine in the body drop too low, it is possible to suffer from withdrawal symptoms. Let's take a look at two different people: Annie drinks a 16 oz. can of energy drink before she works out in the morning. Ryan drinks a 16 oz. cup of brewed coffee before going to class in the morning, where he primarily sits and listens to lectures. We know: 1 cup (16 oz.) of brewed coffee contains 100 mg of caffeine and 1 can (16 oz.) of energy drink contains 160 mg of caffeine. 54 Section 28 Name: ____________________________________ a. If Ryan metabolizes the caffeine at a rate of 25% per hour, when will he likely begin to feel the effects of caffeine withdrawal? Explain. b. If Annie's workout causes her to metabolize the caffeine at triple the rate of Ryan, when will she likely begin to feel the effects of caffeine withdrawal? Explain. c. Provide the equation to represent the caffeine levels in the body for each person at any hour past the initial drink. d. Make an Excel table displaying the caffeine levels for each person for a 12 hour period assuming they would not have had an additional cup of coffee or other source of caffeine. e. Use Excel to make a line graph and compare both Ryan's and Annie's caffeine levels. f. Write a paragraph comparing the two graphs. When does the caffeine leave each person's system? 55 charlesmunyi8@gmail.com
