I have been fascinated with Iceland's wellbeing model since I heard about the success with the reduction of substance abuse use. Looking forward to seeing what she will do.

"Teens don’t just need more activities of any kind, they need activities with natural highs: games, performances, workouts, exhibitions. Activities that compel them to take physical or emotional risks."
Your strategy was revolutionary.

When someone mentions “Peer Pressure” we tend to think of being offered drugs or alcohol as a teen.
But that’s a massive oversimplification of the multiple forms of #PeerPressure, direct & indirect, and how it can affect us as adults, specifically with regards to #SubstanceAbuse

Peer Pressure exists our entire lives, and it isn’t as simple as D.A.R.E. makes it seem.
With Substance Abuse Disorder, peer pressure can be the onset, perpetuate use, or cause a relapse. And it’s typically not someone “making” you; we react to social situations subconsciously.

One way in which peer pressure can contribute is via “Modeling Behavior.”
When we feel left out by not doing the same thing as everyone else, we can “feel” the pressure to partake. For example, a recovering alcoholic may feel the need to drink at a happy hour or a party.

When we started MHT in 2019, we set out to transform Mental Health & Subtance Abuse testing, an industry in desperate need of technological innovation.
With skyrocketing rates of mental health disorders and a subtance abuse epidemic, it’s never been more important to identify disorders, and monitor them effectively throughout treatment.
Our platform is designed to create a seamless end-to-end experience for both patients and clinicians. Better efficiency, data-tracking, and ease-of-use means more people get the help they need.
NEW Analysis: Among people with employer coverage, nearly 1 in 5 inpatient admissions includes a claim from an out-of-network provider, putting them at risk for potentially high out-of-pocket costs. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/an-analy… @PetersonCHealth
Even when enrollees choose in-network facilities, a meaningful share of inpatient admissions result in the patient receiving a claim from an out-of-network provider. 
Emergency care is much more likely to include a claim from an out-of-network provider. This is true whether or not enrollees use in-network facilities.
