Edward and Adam are hosting a show called God's Biggest Mistakes. They have a sponsor named Zaha from Baking Bad. They discuss harm minimization, which involves practices and policies to reduce negative consequences of human behaviors, legal and illegal. It was first introduced in 1996 to minimize harm from alcohol misuse, but now it's mainly used for reducing drug risk. Harm minimization can be applied to everyday activities to reduce harm. The prefrontal cortex in the brain is responsible for risky behavior and can become normalized with repetition, like breaking rules in school or using alcohol or drugs. Hello everyone, welcome to God's Biggest Mistakes. My name is Edward and this is my friend Adam. We are going to be your hosts today. And today we'll be discussing about harm minimization. And we have our sponsor here, Zaha from Baking Bad. Hello, my name is Zaha from Baking Bad. Baking Bad will be at the music festival in Richmond High School on May the 4th. Get your product there. Harm minimization refers to the range of intentional practices and public health policies designed to lessen the negative social and or physical consequences associated with various human behaviors, both legal and illegal. Harm minimization is usually used to reduce harm to the individual and society that are associated with the use of alcohol or other drugs. Harm minimization is a really helpful practice. It was first introduced in 1996 to help minimize the harm from misusing alcohol. Nowadays, it's mainly used for reducing the risk of drug. Of course, this is not the only use it has in society. Harm minimization, as its name suggests, means reducing harm. So it can be used in any day-to-day basis. When performing risky activities, the prefrontal cortex is responsible. This part of the brain may develop when under risk, as the prefrontal cortex is crucially involved in learning and memory. An example of this is, for example, you break the rules in school. For the first time, breaking it, you might feel uncomfortable. After doing it four times or more, it might feel natural to you. This could also be transferred to alcohol or drug use or any harmful activities, meaning the more you do it, the more normalized it becomes.
