Study: Family-centered programs way to prevent substance abuse in teens

High school can be a scary time for teenagers and parents. The chances for drinking, drug use and depression all increase once a teen heads to high school, and there aren't as many resources available to help deal with these problems in the more rural parts of the country.

However, a new study conducted by the Center for Family Research at the University of Georgia suggests that family-centered programs may be a way to prevent these increases.

Today on American Morning, CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen breaks down the study and explains what tactics parents can employ to raise drug-free teens.
