The purpose of this study was to determine how parents influence their children's drug attitudes and behaviors. In addition to identifying specific drug practices and demographic variables, parents responded to a modified version of Shoben's Parent Attitude Survey. The PAS measures the level of parental dominance, possessiveness, and disregard for the child. Moderately dominant parents were found to have children with more healthful attitudes towards drugs and lower patterns of drug use than parents who had low scores on this subscale.

A group of 169 Western Australian Rotarians was surveyed to examine their attitudes concerning the treatment of users of different kinds of drugs, their own use of alcohol, cigarettes and analgesics, and their perceptions of their own drug taking habits. The survey findings revealed that while most Rotarians had realistic perceptions of the extent of their own drug use, there were discrepancies in their attitudes regarding the treatment they suggested for various drug users. Overall, illicit drug users were viewed less favorably than users of the legal drugs.

The Impact

Background: While the ultimate goal of adolescent suicide-prevention efforts is to decrease the incidence of death by suicide, a critical intermediary goal is directing youths toward effective sources of assistance. Aim: To comprehensively review the universal prevention literature and examine the effects of universal prevention programs on student’s attitudes and behaviors related to help-seeking. Method: We systematically reviewed studies that assessed help-seeking outcomes including prevention efforts utilizing (1) psychoeducational curricula, (2) gatekeeper training, and (3) public service messaging directed at youths. Of the studies reviewed, 17 studies evaluated the help-seeking outcomes. These studies were identified through a range of sources (e.g., searching online databases, examining references of published articles on suicide prevention). Results: The results of this review suggest that suicide-prevention programming has a limited impact on help-seeking behavior. Although there was some evidence that suicide-prevention programs had a positive impact on students’ help-seeking attitudes and behaviors, there was also evidence of no effects or iatrogenic effects. Sex and risk status were moderators of program effects on students help-seeking. Conclusions: Caution is warranted when considering which suicidal prevention interventions best optimize the intended goals. The impact on adolescents’ help-seeking behavior is a key concern for educators and mental-health professionals.
