Drug Attitude

The major objective of this study was to examine factors related to intentions to use drugs in the future by urban junior high school students. One hundred forty-eight subjects enrolled in Health Education classes were administered four questionnaires during two consecutive classroom sessions: 1) the Stanford University Drug Evaluation Questionnaire; 2) the Drug Attitude Scale of the Pennsylvania State University Drug Education Evaluation Scale; 3) the Self-Observation Scales; and 4) the School Atmosphere Questionnaire. The results indicated that: adolescents who currently report using drugs had a significantly higher mean anticipatory use score than those who reported that they did not use drugs; subjects who had friends who used drugs had a higher mean anticipatory drug use score than subjects who did not have friends who used drugs; adolescents with a pro-drug attitude had more ambiguous feelings toward future drug use when compared to adolescents who were anti-drug; subjects who were low in self-security and teacher affiliation anticipated using drugs more than subjects high in self-security and teacher affiliation. Current drug use, friend's drug use, attitude toward drugs and self-concept all play an important role in the adolescent's intentions to use drugs in the future.

Drug And Alcohol

Students in a New York City inner city junior high school were surveyed in 1976. They were asked their attitudes toward their neighborhood, the type of people youngsters their age esteem, and in which leisure-time activities they participate. A strong relationship was found to exist between these factors and the degree the youths were involved in substance (drug and alcohol) use. The youths' substance use reflects the manner in which they relate to their environment, rather than a sense of alienation. The findings imply that substance abuse prevention programs will be enhanced by a focus on life-style commitment, rather than such things as drug use per se.
