To address the variety of substance abuse issues impacting our community, the Knott County Cooperative Extension Service partnered with other local agencies to organize and offer “Truth or Consequences, the Choice is Yours”. Truth or Consequences, the Choice is Yours is an enrichment activity designed to show students the impact of getting involved with illicit and legal substances.  Based upon the format of the 4-H Reality Store, students role-played scenarios including possession of prescription drugs, driving under the influence, sniffing, possession of alcohol, drug paraphernalia, or illegal drugs, trafficking, stealing drugs, etc. Depending on the scenario, students visited appropriate officials and/or agencies to experience the consequences of their behavior. The event was possible because a wide variety of community partners including: the local school district, Knott County drug court, city, state and local law enforcement agencies, local health professionals, mental and social agencies and Hickory Hills recovery center worked together. Community volunteers served as “parents” to the youth and accompanied them as they visited the various agencies such as law enforcement, judges, school officials, health care personnel and jail. 166 9th grade students participated in Truth & Consequences: The Choice is Yours to learn more about the physical, legal, financial, and emotional consequences of substance abuse. Evaluation results revealed the following:   60% said they have been offered drugs and or alcohol.  73% reported they have ridden in a vehicle with someone driving under the influence of alcohol.  60% vape or have tried vaping. 79% reported they developed a better understanding of the legal consequences of substance abuse. 78% of youth reported a better understanding of the health consequences of substance abuse.  A continued need for parent education and support is evidenced by the fact that 80% had not talked to parents/caregivers about the dangers of substance abuse during the past 12 months.  Post evaluation comments included: “Made me more award and has reinforced my ability to say no.”  “Jail is not fun and not like it is on television.”  “Unintentional actions can still hurt you.”  “Bad choices can lead to serious consequences.”
