The paper discusses the recommendations for drug educational-informational programs communicated by teenaged interviewees to teenaged and adult interviewers. The subjects were teenagers residing in East, Central and West Harlem. The research design in this study was based upon a content analysis of data obtained from youth by teenaged and adult interviewers. A pool of 298 tapes of interviews was gathered. The data collected, along with the youngster's own prescription concerning prevention of abuse was used as the basis for the development of program recommendations for youth in this age group.
