"Every two years, Vermilion high school students take a health survey... Students are then invited to create original works of art that address the top five issues revealed by the surveys. For the past four years, that list has included alcohol and drug use, teen sexuality, body image, and depression. The students can create anything... as long as it's original."Dottie McClauglin, the program's coordinator, displays the projects at area schools, libraries, health fairs and businesses. Since the program began, McLauglin said, the region has experienced a 24-percent decrease in the number of teens who drink and drive. Source: AHA (American Hospital Association) News
