Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the perceived effectiveness of selected types of programs and resource people which may be utilized in drug abuse education endeavors. A total of 195 university students were included in this study with an approximately equal representation of male and female students. One group received a drug education course and the other served as a control. Each student was asked to rate the perceived effectiveness of selected types of programs and sources with respect to “preventing or stopping the use of dangerous drugs.” Similar findings were evidenced for both groups. Results indicated that certain drug abuse program and individuals were perceived as being more effective than others.
