  24. Chosen Solution: Speaker and Then Some • Easily be tailored to 10-14 year olds • Small groups can identify users quickly • Presentation can be cultural and focused on social affects and study habits • Group leader can start by talking about school stress • Challenge: How to make sure students don’t realize what’s happening
