Question

what strategies can a person practice to prevent the use of harmful substances?
○ avoid activities with others
○ confide in a proven, trusted adult
○ use social media to get peer advice
○ seek friendships only with older people

Explanation:

To determine the correct strategy, we analyze each option:

• "Avoid activities with others" is not helpful as social support can prevent harmful substance use.
• "Confide in a proven, trusted adult" is a valid strategy. Trusted adults (like parents, mentors) can provide guidance, support, and help in avoiding harmful substances.
• "Use social media to get peer advice" is risky as peers may not have accurate or safe advice, and social media can expose one to negative influences.
• "Seek friendships only with older people" is impractical and not a standard prevention strategy.

Answer:

B. confide in a proven, trusted adult
