As a member of the school board you have been tasked with investigating different school-based drug use prevention programs. There will be three different groups of students that you will need to consider: Elementary school students in grades k-6, adolescents in grades 7-12, and young adults in college. Discuss specific programs for each group of young people.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Statistically speaking younger students respond well to programs that involve their parents or well-known adults such as professional athletes. Adolescents in junior and senior high respond well to peer-counseling programs, and young adults seem to respond well to efforts focused on health education. Programs for all ages should include provision of non-drug recreational opportunities.
