DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAMS CAN BE STARTED IN MANY SCHOOLS BY USING FEDERAL RESOURCE MATERIALS.
Abstract
MATERIALS ON DRUG ABUSE CAN PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS ON THE DRUG SCENE AND CAN CREATE NEW AWARENESS OF APPROACHES, METHODS, AND ATTITUDES ON THE SUBJECT. THE GOAL IS TO GIVE TEACHERS THE SKILLS TO OPEN DISCUSSION ON DRUGS AND TRY TO INFLUENCE YOUTH ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR. NEW FILMS AND BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE AS TEACHING AIDS AT ALL GRADE LEVELS OF SCHOOL.
