New Program in Guam University to Educate Teenagers on Drug Prevention Through Culture-Based Approach
Guam students will learn about drug prevention through a new program developed by a University of Guam cancer research team.

Students in grades six to eight in Guam will learn about drug prevention related to culture through a new program developed by a team from the Cancer Research Center at the University of Guam.


According to a press release from the university, a prevention program for drug use among teenagers was developed based on a survey of Guam high school students to determine the factors that influence the use of tobacco, e-cigarettes, and betelnut.


A study previously published in the American Journal of Public Health revealed that Guam high school students may be using electronic cigarettes and tobacco products at rates up to five times higher than the national average in the United States.

Local actors appear in a video produced by a research team at the University of Guam, promoting a prevention program for teenage drug use called "Fu ets an Man hoben.


This project is being conducted under the Pacific Islands Cancer Health Equity Partnership, which is a grant between the National Cancer Institute-funded UOG Cancer Research Center and the University of Hawaii Cancer Center. It is one of the largest research funds currently being undertaken by UOG, totaling $14 million over five years.


As Fuetsan Manhoben references the "power of youth from within" in Chamoru, these videos were created to reflect the core values of CHamoru and other cultures in Guam. The curriculum guides students to use these values to maintain a drug-free and healthy lifestyle.
