Findings of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse give added impetus to programs which develop understandings and skills necessary for the resolution of a wide range of human behavioral problems.

Cultural Variables

It is the province of all educators to effectively deal with the tribulations of drug abuse on the highest level possible. This level may simply be termed the “preventive resolution.” A cogent drug education program, factorally suited to age-education, developmental and cultural variables and longitudinally implemented throughout a community educational system, is the preventive resolution.

Dynamic Programs

The author describes the most serious problem of drug abuse in the nation's schools. He attempts to describe the role of the school and its responsibility as a preventive agent or deterrent to youthful drug abuse. The epidemic proportions of drug abuse in our schools could be effectively diminished with the necessary ingredients for successful results. These ingredients should include such items as thought, inquiry, analysis, evaluation and decision-making. The writer further describes how health education classes with realistic and dynamic programs of instruction can also serve as effective deterrents to youthful drug abuse. He further describes a method in which the other disciplines that make up the instructional program of a school can reinforce the health and drug education program, thus building up a total educational thrust within the existing curriculum framework.

A classroom drug-education program was evaluated in the field to determine if it changed attitudes toward the abuse of marijuana, stimulants, depressants, LSD, and heroin. The subjects were 80 7th graders from middle-class homes. The results indicated that the program did not significantly change drug-abuse attitudes.

Knowledge And Attitudes

The purpose of the article was to investigate parents' knowledge and attitudes concerning drug abuse. The results of the study suggest that factual knowledge and “liberal-conservative” attitudes toward drugs is significantly related to age. Sex of parent was also found to be a factor as was level of educational attainment. It was concluded that a comprehensive drug education program should include “education” of parents as well as children.

K 12

When implementing multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for behavior in K–12 schools, it is important to identify interventions that are effective at each tier, but it is also crucial to identify interventions that match the level of the problem in terms of intensity and resources allocated to solving the problem. Tier II interventions in MTSS systems are designed to support the behavior of 5%–15% of students in a school that are at risk. One of the most well-developed, evidence-based, and efficient Tier II behavioral interventions is Check-in/Check-out (CICO). CICO (also known as the Behavior Education Program) was designed to reduce the behavioral problems of students who are not responding to Tier I intervention strategies. This chapter describes recent research and provides a detailed how-to guide for implementation of CICO.

The program caters to public and private schools’ needs regarding implementing the preventive drug education program in curriculum and instruction, intervention program and services, learning and development activities, advocacy campaigns, evaluation, and research. The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of implementation of drug education programs among public and private secondary schools in Nasipit Agusan Del Norte. The researchers used a descriptive design comprising the survey method to collect relevant information for the study. Based on the finding, there is no significant difference in the level of implementation of preventive drug education program between public and private secondary schools in Nasipit Agusan del Norte, which were the following; curriculum and instructions, intervention program and services, learning and development activities, advocacy campaigns, and monitoring evaluation and research. The researchers would like to recommend that the public and private secondary schools continue implementing the preventive drug education program in Nasipit Agusan del Norte. Moreover, all personnel in-charge in the drug education program will attend any drug symposium and activities to have proper training: curriculum and Instruction.

New Models

Confusion on the goals of prevention and treatment has led some schools to define the nature of their drug abuse education program in such fashion that they cannot reasonably expect success. Drug abuse prevention goals are the domain of education. New models for evaluating such goals need to be developed. In some areas drug education evaluation has imposed “no win” rules upon itself. An advertising agency would be delighted if its new approach netted an increase of from 10 per cent of the available market to 11 per cent of the available market. But educational efforts are expected to completely change the nature of nearly all peoples behavior.

An experimental-control pretest and post-test research design was implemented to measure the effects of “Human-Persons and the Use of Psychoactive Agents,” a senior high school drug education curriculum. Content and activities are directed toward education in human behavior and potential, in general, as well as specifically applied to drug use and abuse. Results of treatment (N = 1031) demonstrated positive effects upon student drug knowledge, behavior knowledge, and developmental attitudes when compared to control groups (N = 624).
