Educational Approaches to the Prevention of Nontherapeutic Use of Drugs.
Abstract
A set of guidelines for use in drug education programs was developed in a four-phase study of various aspects of drug usage and drug education. In the first phase of the study, a questionnaire on drug usage and related attitudes was developed and administered to 2149 military personnel at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The next involved a review of 15 civilian drug education programs, their characteristics, and the suggestion of a model drug education program approach. Phase three was a brief review of psychological theory and research regarding attitude change. Based upon data and information obtained from the first three phases, 18 guidelines that can be useful in the conduct of a drug education program were formulated during the concluding phase. (Author)
