The Risk Scoring for CRAFFT revealed that 58% of the 64 participants showed a high degree of risk of substance abuse. In Sahaspur Block, the overall prevalence of substance use was 8.14%. Among 10\u201317 years individuals (n = 107) using the CRAFFT questionnaire, 30% scored more than or equal to 2, which reflected a high potential risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The growing epidemic of substance abuse is preventable in the community with collective efforts of the society, law enforcement department, community leaders, ASHA workers, school teachers, and health personnels.
