An Experimental Lesson in Drug Education

Abstract

This article focuses upon a method of making drug education more relevant for today's high school and college student through the use of an experimental lesson on drug taking. The lesson examines the reasons and motivations for drug taking in a setting that is close to reality. It describes a methodology for stimulating student interest in an area where young people may feel they have exhausted much of the drug education information available to them. The lesson actively involves all members of the class.
