Abstract
The effects of presenting (a) general drug and drug usage information by lecture or mixed mode format and (b) information on the types of programs and facilities available through the Alberta Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Commission, on the knowledge and attitudes of 347 technical college students were compared. The results indicated that the presentations had no significant differential effect on the participants' general knowledge of drugs and drug usage nor on their attitudes toward certain aspects of drug usage. However, those individuals who received information about programs and facilities demonstrated significantly (p < .01) greater knowledge in that area than did individuals who did not receive this information. The results were discussed in terms of research on training and attitudes and recommendations were made for future drug information programs.
