This document discusses drug education effectiveness and reviews some key programs. It provides definitions of drug education and drugs. It then examines who delivers drug education, what young people want from such education, and two programs to learn from: the European Drug Addiction Prevention trial and the School Health and Alcohol Harm Reduction Project. It finds that EUDAP reduced drug use rates and the SHAHRP led to increased alcohol knowledge and reduced risky drinking and harm over time compared to the control groups. However, it notes that drug education is not a complete prevention and some programs can do more harm than good.

Prevention and reduction - schools
This document summarizes strategies that schools can use to prevent youth crime and antisocial behavior based on international evidence. Effective prevention interventions for individuals work with smaller groups, are delivered by program originators, and use cognitive behavioral techniques for higher risk youth aged 12 or more. Schools can create an environment for prevention through reorganizing grades/classes, altering classroom management, improving school discipline policies, and teaching social skills using cognitive behavioral methods. Interventions that do not work and should be avoided include those focused on coercion/control, boot camps, unstructured counseling or training, and programs that group high-risk students without structure.

Drug and alcohol education mapping exercise 2013
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 288 schools in England on drug and alcohol education. It finds that provision remains inconsistent, with primary schools having less access to resources and support. While most schools provide some education, many teachers note a lack of curriculum time and financial constraints. The document also outlines specific gaps in resources identified by primary and secondary schools and areas where schools desire additional support.
Smoking, drinking and drug use by young people in England [2017 update]
The document summarizes trends in smoking, drinking, and drug use among young people in England. It finds that rates of alcohol and tobacco consumption are declining, while rates of e-cigarette use are rising. Drug use peaks at age 15, with cannabis being the most commonly used illicit drug. New psychoactive substances were popular before being banned, but rates of use for these and other illicit drugs are generally low. The document advocates for comprehensive education programs in schools to build resilience, promote accurate social norms, and teach life skills to reduce substance use among youth.
POLS 7050: School Drug Testing Scheme
The document discusses recommendations to improve Hong Kong's School Drug Testing Scheme. It suggests enhancing promotion of the scheme to parents by encouraging discussion with their children. This could motivate student participation and minimize conflicts. It also recommends strengthening support programs by providing more resources and funding to increase drug treatment services and solve the extra workload it places on teachers. Doing so could enhance the feasibility of the scheme and help students access needed support services.
Pols 7050 School Drug Test Presentation
The document discusses a proposed drug testing scheme in Hong Kong secondary schools. It notes that drug use among those under 21 has increased 57% in the last four years. The government has spent $2 million researching the feasibility of such a scheme. There are concerns about labeling effects on schools and students. The scheme could also damage trust between students and teachers or parents. Setting up drug testing centers rather than school-based testing could help address these issues by providing a more confidential testing environment and limiting teacher workload. For the scheme to be effective at the societal level, it must consider factors like benefits to citizens, service quality, and social fairness, not just efficiency. The proposal is that the scheme should be expanded to all secondary schools after
Smoking, drinking and drug use by young people in England
This document summarizes data on smoking, drinking, and drug use among young people in England. It finds that while these behaviors have generally been decreasing among youth, many still engage in risky behaviors. Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug. Factors like family environment, personality traits, and peer influences can increase youths' risk, while protective factors like strong family relationships and doing well in school can decrease risk. Schools are encouraged to help keep students safe through education programs.

Adepis drug prevention in schools
This document discusses effective approaches to drug and alcohol education for youth. It notes that most youth see teachers as helpful sources of information and want drug education in school. An effective approach focuses on social influences, is needs-based and interactive. Programs teaching life skills like decision making and managing peer pressure can reduce substance use. Simply providing facts is less effective than challenging misperceptions about social norms. Effective education demands an integrated, multi-year curriculum rather than one-off lessons or visitors. Teachers need support to address these sensitive topics.

Role of education to Curb-Drug abuse and Alcoholism.pptx
This document discusses the role of education in curbing drug and alcohol abuse. It outlines traditional and contemporary educational approaches, and their effectiveness. Traditional approaches focused on information dissemination about the dangers of substance abuse, but evaluations showed only temporary impacts. Contemporary approaches emphasize teaching social resistance skills and competence enhancement to increase students' ability to resist peer pressure. Studies found these approaches reduced substance use by 40-80% and had effects lasting up to six years. However, effective programs face challenges being widely adopted in schools and implemented with fidelity.
SOC 204 Goldberg Ch 16
This document discusses approaches to drug prevention and education. It notes that effective programs incorporate skills training to resist peer pressure, correct misperceptions about drug use norms, and emphasize short-term health consequences. School-based programs work best when they are interactive, developmentally appropriate, involve parents and community, and are part of a multi-year curriculum. While DARE had little impact, programs focusing on life skills and social resistance training can reduce drug use if adequately implemented and evaluated.

EVERFI Webinar: Addressing Prescription Drug Abuse on Campus
This document discusses addressing prescription drug abuse on college campuses. It begins by outlining the scope of the problem, noting that while the US makes up 5% of the world's population, it consumes 75% of the world's prescription drugs. Contributing factors to misuse include easy access to medications, misperceptions about safety, and direct-to-consumer drug advertising. The document then defines misuse and outlines the most commonly abused drug types - opioids, stimulants, and depressants. It presents data on misuse rates among college students and 18-25 year olds. Finally, it discusses prevention strategies including information dissemination, skill building, problem identification and referral services, environmental approaches, and campus-
10.5923.j.nursing.20130303.01 2
- The study assessed the effectiveness of an awareness program on the knowledge and self-reported practices of adolescent students regarding the harmful effects of tobacco and alcohol.
- 107 students aged 14-17 years from a school in India participated. The program significantly improved students' knowledge about the harmful effects based on pre- and post-test scores.
- While no students reported using tobacco or alcohol, many reported that family/friends engaged in these practices. The study concluded the awareness program was effective at improving knowledge about the harmful effects of substance use."
Joanne Powerpoint FINAL
This document summarizes a study on the impact of media on substance abuse among adolescents. The study analyzed longitudinal studies assessing the relationship between media exposure and youth substance abuse. The studies found that alcohol advertising increases the likelihood that adolescent drinkers will drink more and non-drinkers will start drinking. The results suggest that school-based programs should educate adolescents on the dangers of substance abuse and that subsequent studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs.
SOC 204 Goldberg Chapter 16 Prevention
The document discusses approaches to drug prevention and education. It describes how most drug prevention funds in the US come from the federal government and are allocated to various agencies. Effective drug prevention programs are school-based, involve peers, emphasize social influences and life skills, aim to change social norms, and include parent and community involvement. While early efforts focused on supply reduction, the focus is now on prevention and underlying factors contributing to drug abuse. Successful programs provide skills training, social resistance training, and normative education in a culturally sensitive way over multiple years.
conscientization report
Gifty Hillary, Mary Latha, and Merin D'cruz conducted a conscientization program on drug addiction for class 7D students. The program was divided into three sessions that covered the causes and stages of addiction, health effects of specific drugs, and solutions for overcoming addiction. Students learned about the dangers of drug use and how to help others struggling with addiction. The program aimed to increase awareness of drugs and their consequences in order to discourage use.
Pathways to Problems and Drugs - facing facts
The document discusses two reports on drug education in the UK. It finds that while drug prevention programs in schools aim to reduce drug use, research shows they likely have little impact. It argues drug education should focus more on primary schools, harm reduction in secondary schools, and efforts outside of schools. Education should provide context on drugs and address the substances youth actually encounter while allowing discussion over lectures.
Drug and Alcohol Prevention In Schools
This document summarizes the findings of a survey of over 3,500 educators on drug and alcohol prevention education in America's schools. It identifies several key findings, including that the majority of teachers spend less than 5 hours per year on prevention education and feel ill-equipped to teach the subject. The document puts forth two recommendations: 1) that schools should not be the primary provider of prevention education and should work with parents and the community, and 2) that schools should reevaluate spending on ineffective programs and speakers and instead focus on strategies shown to be effective like skills-based training.
Chapter 16 Prevention Of Substance Abuse
- Prevention efforts for substance abuse traditionally focus on primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions. Primary prevention aims to prevent initial use, secondary focuses on early identification of problems, and tertiary refers to treatment for those with substance abuse issues or dependence.
- There are three major models of prevention: the sociocultural model aims to influence social norms, the distribution/consumption model focuses on restricting availability, and the proscriptive model prohibits availability and advocates total abstinence.
- Common prevention strategies include education programs in schools, mass media campaigns, and programs targeting at-risk groups like college students where binge drinking leads to health, academic, and legal problems for many.
Substance Abuse research projects
The document discusses substance abuse prevention programs for youth. It notes that substance abuse is rising among younger children and teens. Current prevention programs are not addressing this issue, as drugs are affecting children at younger ages. It proposes creating new prevention programs that target younger children, involve the community, and increase education on newer drugs that are affecting youth. A key part of new programs would be evaluating existing programs, gathering input from students and the community, and developing initiatives to build social skills and drug education at younger grades to try to reduce substance abuse among youth.
Alcohol And Young People
This document discusses alcohol education for young people in the UK. It provides statistics on alcohol use among pupils and examines the role and goals of alcohol education. The goals are to modestly reduce alcohol consumption, delay the onset of use, reduce risks, and help people stop using. Education aims to increase knowledge of harms, develop life skills, and correct inaccurate beliefs about norms. It recommends ensuring alcohol education is integrated into science and PSHE curriculums and tailored for different age groups.
Prevention of Drug Abuse
The document discusses drug abuse prevention and approaches, including how serious the problem of drug dependence is in the US with an estimated 20.6 million people classified with substance dependence or abuse. It covers goals and levels of prevention programs from primary to tertiary, as well as strategies, examples of programs, and ways to make drug education more effective, such as establishing links between messages and students' lives.
School based drug prevention
School-based drug prevention programs aim to reduce substance use among children and adolescents. Most interventions target youth ages 10-16 when most begin experimenting. Programs should start in elementary school and continue with developmentally appropriate curricula. Effective programs provide medically accurate information using interactive methods to build social skills and resist peer pressure. While D.A.R.E. was widely used, research found it ineffective. Programs like Life Skills Training are evidence-based and teach drug resistance and self-management skills to reduce risk. Developing successful prevention requires assessing community needs, involving families and schools, and evaluating outcomes.
Prevention
The document discusses various aspects of drug abuse prevention programs and strategies. It provides statistics showing that in 2011, about 20.6 million Americans aged 12 or older were dependent on or abused substances. It also outlines the goals of prevention programs as enhancing protective factors, addressing all forms of drug abuse, and tailoring programs to specific audiences. Finally, it describes different levels and examples of prevention programs, including primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention as well as school-based, community-based, and family-based approaches.
HIV in Persons with Severe Mental Illness 11.4.09
This randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of a case manager delivered HIV prevention intervention called Preventing AIDS Through Health (PATH) for people with severe mental illness (SMI) and substance abuse issues. 281 participants were assigned to receive either the PATH intervention or treatment as usual. The PATH intervention improved condom use and skills and reduced drug use compared to the control group. While the rapport between case managers and clients did not mediate these effects, case managers were able to effectively deliver the HIV prevention intervention. The results suggest comprehensive treatment for SMI should include discussions of sexuality and safer sexual practices.
SOC 204 Goldberg Ch 16 Week 9
This document discusses approaches to drug prevention and education. It covers topics like the goals of prevention, levels of prevention from primary to tertiary, risk factors for drug abuse, and the effectiveness of different prevention strategies. School-based drug education programs are most effective when they are developmentally appropriate, teach social resistance skills, involve normative education, and receive sufficient time and support. Peer-led and health education models can also be effective approaches.

This study assessed the knowledge and attitudes of 150 adolescent students regarding psychoactive substance abuse. It found that most students had adequate knowledge of addictive substances and their harms, but only a minority knew about treatment options. A minority also had negative attitudes toward substance abusers. The study concluded there was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude. Knowledge scores were associated with the education level of the father, while attitude scores were associated with the sex of the adolescent. It recommends educational programs to improve adolescent knowledge and attitudes regarding psychoactive substance abuse.

Teen drug and alcohol abuse can lead to serious health risks such as liver damage, psychotic behavior, and harm to vital organs. Binge drinking teens are much more likely to abuse other drugs - they are 4 times more likely to abuse painkillers and 15 times more likely to abuse prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription compared to non-drinking teens. Parents, schools, and communities can work together to implement prevention programs and policies to reduce teen substance abuse through education, monitoring, and limiting availability.
Preventingdruguse 2
This document provides an overview of research on preventing drug use among children and adolescents. It discusses risk and protective factors, community prevention planning, core elements of effective prevention programs, and examples of research-based programs. The goal is to help parents, educators, and community leaders implement strategies supported by scientific evidence to address substance use issues. Key points include:
- Risk and protective factors that predict later drug abuse can emerge early in development. The highest risk periods are times of transition, like elementary to middle school.
- Communities can develop research-based prevention plans by assessing local risks, gaining motivation to act, and evaluating current efforts.
- Effective programs address risk and protective factors, promote bonding, teach life

Drug Misuse Declared
- The document discusses drug use among young adults aged 16-19 in the UK based on surveys from 2010-2011. It finds that while over 40% have used an illicit drug in their lifetime, lifetime and recent drug use among this group is declining.
- Specifically, the surveys found that most 16-19 year olds think cannabis and cocaine use is never acceptable. However, cocaine use among 16-24 year olds has risen 5.5% since 1996 while other drug use has decreased.
- Around 20% of young people used an illicit drug in the last year and 11% in the last month, continuing downward trends compared to 1996. Mephedrone use was similar to cocaine as the second
Drug Deaths in 2010
The document summarizes drug death statistics from England, Wales, and Scotland in 2010. It finds that there were 2,747 drug poisoning deaths in England in 2010, including 1,784 from drug misuse. Scotland saw 485 drug-related deaths, the third highest on record, while 60 young people under 20 died of drug poisoning in England and Wales, with 35 from misuse. The data comes from several sources tracking drug deaths in each region.
Drinking 2010
1) Drinking rates among young people in England have declined, with 13% drinking in the last week compared to 26% in 2001, though 1 in 5 drink weekly by age 15.
2) Parents and friends are the main sources of alcohol for young people, while parties have become more common venues for drinking.
3) While most young people see their parents as disapproving of underage drinking, nearly a quarter think it's okay to get drunk weekly by age 15.
Drug use by young people in England in 2010
The survey questioned 7,296 pupils aged 11 to 15 from 246 schools in England about their drug use. Only 0.2% of pupils reported taking the fictional drug "Semeron", supporting the view that most pupils do not exaggerate drug use in surveys. The results also showed rates of cannabis and Class A drug use in the last year, drugs used by age, frequency of drug use, effects of truancy on Class A drug use, being offered drugs, sources of drug education, and receiving drug education that year.

EU Youth’s Attitudes to Drugs
A survey of over 12,000 15-24 year olds across the EU found that three quarters had never used cannabis, though 57% thought it was easy to obtain within 24 hours. 5% had used new psychoactive substances, mostly gotten from friends. Youth cited the internet and peers as top information sources on drugs. Over 90% saw regular cocaine or ecstasy use as highly risky to health. Over half thought cannabis and alcohol regular use also very risky. Over 90% wanted heroin, cocaine and ecstasy to remain banned.

Effective visitors
This document outlines principles for schools and external visitors to follow when delivering drug education programs in partnership. It recommends that visitors be aware of effective drug education strategies, avoid inappropriate content, and reflect on sessions. Schools should negotiate content with visitors, ensure visitors understand school policies, and brief visitors on any student sensitivities. Teachers should be present during sessions, assess learning, and follow up on any issues. The goal is to have a positive experience that links to the school's broader drug education curriculum.

Presentation to Richmond upon Thames Drug Misuse Task Group
The document discusses drug, alcohol, and substance abuse among young people in London and the UK. It notes that drug use results in high costs to the London Ambulance Service and police. While most schools provide drug education once a year or less, proven programs like Life Skills Training that are implemented in US schools have been shown to reduce substance abuse and have a cost benefit ratio of $25 saved for every $1 invested. The document calls for increased funding for early intervention and prevention programs in schools to address substance abuse among youth.
Early Intervention
The document discusses early intervention strategies for children aged 0-18 and makes several recommendations. It recommends that 19 top early intervention programs be expanded, 15 Early Intervention Places be established locally to spearhead development, and an independent Early Intervention Foundation be created to support local efforts and expansion of effective programs. The foundation would maintain a database of cost-effective local programs and encourage new investment in early intervention.
Local authority spending on young people’s substance misuse
Local authorities spent money from 2008 to 2011 on substance misuse services for children and young people. However, the data shown only reflects local authority funding and may not include all spending from other sources like primary care trusts. While not a complete picture, the data provides an important benchmark to understand how local authorities have supported substance misuse services for young people over time.
(Sex) Drugs and Alcohol - Catherine Wilburn
This document summarizes a social norms intervention project conducted in Stockton, UK aimed at reducing risky behaviors among youth. Researchers surveyed over 1,600 students aged 11-14 across 8 secondary schools to establish baselines on sex, drugs, and alcohol. They found most students overestimate their peers' risky behaviors. The researchers then designed and distributed personalized posters, stickers, and other materials to each school displaying accurate social norms data. After two years, they resurveyed students and found the intervention effective in further delaying or preventing risky behaviors. The document outlines lessons learned, including ensuring teacher support and constantly refreshing materials to maintain interest.
Truth about Youth - Andi Whitwham
This document summarizes a research project on social norms and risky behaviors among youth. It discusses:
1) Background on previous social norms interventions from 2007-2010.
2) Research aims to study misperceptions around peer behaviors, differences by gender/age/socioeconomics, and effective implementation.
3) Key findings showed that youth overestimate peer involvement in risks but most have positive attitudes and decision making. Feedback affirmed the approach and potential for partnership and commitment.
Introduction to Social Norms - John McAlaney
This document provides an introduction to social norms and the social norms approach to behavior change. It discusses how perceived norms strongly influence individual behavior, especially for young adults. However, people often misperceive norms, overestimating behaviors like substance use among peers. The social norms approach aims to correct these misperceptions to reduce high-risk behaviors. It provides positive messages about the healthy behaviors of the majority rather than focusing on the negative minority. Research shows this approach can decrease substance use and related harms. The social norms approach has been effectively applied to various behaviors and locations.
