Registration Open for the Idaho Healthy Youth Survey |

What is the Idaho Healthy Youth Survey?
The Idaho Healthy Youth Survey (IHYS) is a bi-annual, statewide survey of 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th graders facilitated by the Idaho Office of Drug Policy (ODP).
The Survey is designed to measure the perceptions, opinions, attitudes, and behaviors of Idaho youth related to the use and misuse of alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes/vaping, marijuana, prescription medication, and other drugs.
Why Participate?
The IHYS aims to gather current, local-level data on substance use, misuse, and other related behavioral health indicators among Idaho students. This data allows schools and prevention providers to effectively tailor primary prevention programming to the needs of the youth in their communities. Learn More.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT: UPDATE |
|
Medication Assisted Treatment |
|
The Drug Enforcement Administration seeks to make medication for opioid use disorder readily and safely available to anyone in the country who needs it. As Congressionally-mandated, medical practitioners have a new role to help patients fighting to sustain recovery and prevent opioid overdoses.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 enacted a new one-time, eight-hour training requirement for all DEA-registered practitioners, except veterinarians, on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders.
Beginning on June 27, 2023, all DEA-registered and new medical practitioners are required to attest to completion of the training when renewing or completing an initial registration. Below is information on this new requirement.
Check out these new resources on the new MATE ACT Training Requirement:

Happy Parents Day from Everest Base Camp
- Your journey starts in Kathmandu. Then you catch a small plane that lands on a tiny postage stamp-sized 1,000-foot-inclined airstrip. It is exhilarating. The views from the aircraft are breathtaking. Your body is filled with foreboding and anxiety, or is that just the lack of oxygen? It is a weighty adventure you are about to embark on. Are you prepared? Are you climbing the world’s tallest mountain or raising a child?
