The City

A primary prevention program implemented immediately following a major rail disaster is described. Because of the high mortality, services were oriented towards the provisions of preventive counselling for bereaved families as well as support for the injured. Emergency counselling services were provided at the City Morque. Subsequently, coordinating consultative and educative programmes were instituted in the affected health region. Counselling bereaved families was continued through appropriate specialised community services. High-risk groups of bereaved were delineated and special emphasis given to individual care of these persons. Recommendations are made concerning the relevance of such a programme to the personal disasters of life.

The Impact

In order to design a primary prevention program that has a reasonable likelihood of effectiveness, one must be able to generate data that can suggest appropriate areas of concentration. This paper discusses the development and refinement of the McLeod High-Risk Inventory. This instrument has been designed to test the statistical relationship between a number of psychological states and pro-drug attitudes or frequent drug use. The instrument is also used to measure the impact of a primary prevention program on those states that have been demonstrated to be correlated to pro-drug attitudes.
