This study was designed to provide descriptive information and correlational data related to drug use in junior and senior high school populations and to generate data for use in the planning and evaluation of a local drug education and prevention program. Further, it attempts to compare drug use among adolescents from military and civilian communities. The responses of 2,004 students to a multiple-choice drug attitude survey were analyzed. The myriad of adjustment problems associated with drug use suggests that treatment and research might concentrate efforts on individual psychological problems, rather than on drug use only and that further studies are indicated in the direction of causality of drug use and related psychological problems.

Balga Senior High School is located in the Perth suburb of Balga and draws many of its students from surrounding areas which are made up of Homeswest flats or Homeswest Housing Estates. Many of the students who attend Balga Senior High are from low income single parent families and as such the school is mindful of the program it offers. Out of a school population of about 900, seventy would be Aboriginal. The reasons behind the initial move to appoint a teacher with special responsibility to Aboriginal students to Balga Senior High School can probably be traced back to 1984, when Aboriginal parents in the Balga area expressed concern about current education trends and their implications for their children.

School adjustment and coping strategies are vital elements of students' lives because they help them adapt and function well to their environment, thereby preventing countless mental health problems. However, despite the robust information about the importance and benefits of adaptability or adjusting well to one's environment, many students still encounter school adjustment problems. Luckily, students often resort to various coping strategies in order to deal with their problems effectively. Hence, the paper determined the degree of school adjustment problems and the extent of coping strategies of senior high school students of a Diocesan Catholic school in Antique during the School Year 2019-2020. Likewise, it determines the correlation between school adjustment problems and students' coping strategies and whether good coping strategies predict school adjustment problems.
